I loved the book. Thank you

loved the book bought back a lot of memories

I'm a city slicker and you really opened up a whole new world to me. Thankyou.

Hi Michael
Just finished your book ' Jackaroo' we thoroughly enjoyed it. Amazing insight into the ever so confronting journey of a jackaroo coming to terms with the land and himself.
Dario & I have fond memories of that day on the house boat at Eildon with the Rotary exchange students.
We are so sorry to here of the loss of your son.
Warm regards Louiise & Dario

Just read your book and thoroughly enjoyed it. Have fond memories of our time at YJ Farm.

Hi Michael. I have read Jackaroo and it provided me with some very entertaining and educational reading. I hope this msg finds you well.

Hi michael,
I hope that you are doing well Michael.
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love and support that you have given Meagan when she has been down and out, even when you have been in need yourself.
Your strength of spirit is an inspiration, keep your chin up.
Meagan and i are both looking forward to coming to see Elaine and yourself on the farm.

Many thanks.

Hi Michael, I purchased the e-book version, a month or so ago. I'm now on my 2nd reading, I love it so much. I was a Jackaroo on Balcanoona Station in the Flinders Ranges in the mid 1970's, and it just brings back so many great memories (although some weren't so great at the time!)
Anyway, so happy the book has been a great success for you.
Cheers
Paul.

Have now just finished your book 'Jackaroo', I enjoyed reading about your adventures, especially at Nareen. When my family and I lived in Antwerp (a tiny hamlet in the Wimmera), there was a family who were going to work on Malcolm Fraser's property. His name is Neil Birch, I don't suppose you knew him? It is one of my few claims to fames.
And I also thought I wanted to be a Jillaroo and proceeded to learn to ride a horse in the appropriate way with the Hutton's from Horsham, but after many busters off the horses I decided it was not for me. But I did like reading about your experiences, thanks.

Hello Michael,
Really enjoyed your book as i could relate to both aspects of your early working life.have been involved in the wool industry from some time now, but have escaped back to the family farm.
keep up the good work
Steve
