Wear to book corners and edges. Body text and binding are still very good. Son of a sideshow operator and a trapeze artist, Fred Brophy grew up on the road, travelling the length and breadth of Australia. He did time in jail as a teenager before touring his own boxing tent, when the tradition was alive and well. It has become a star attraction in the Outback and is now the only one of its kind in the world. With plenty of hardship, adventure, hilarity, tragedy, and even romance, Fred's story is about living on the smell of an oily rag and staying resourceful to keep his young family together and give his kids the education he didn't have.

He was awarded an OAM in 2010 for services to charity, boxing and entertainment.…
