Live By The Pipe
Bob Hund, also known as Bergman Rock, has been around forever and ever. And right now we've been hearing a lot of rumours about them, including that they've started playing live again, for the first time in years. That's great news, but we've also been...

Sound Underground
I took some time off after compulsory military service in Greece about 34 years ago and came to visit my uncle in Coober Pedy. He told me how easy it was to find opal. I thought I would simply find my fortune and return to Greece within a year. I...

Dynamite Guy
This habit of blowing things up started back when I was about 17. My dad was in road construction and always had dynamite and fuses in his basement. I would nick dynamite and

Twenty-six Feet Under
People who live in Coober Pedy make city kids look like pampered assholes. Life in the outback is often harsher than a straight-up hash pipe, and death is something that you tend to become pretty familiar with-especially when you throw in an occupation...

Snow Patrol
I was four when my father got me my first snow scooter. I can't remember any of it, but it must have been something special because here I am, and all I can think about is driving my scooter all year round.

Choosing Poverty

Policing The Wilderness
There are two and a half of us working in this area. Two and a half cops in an area the size of Holland and Belgium together. When I get off duty now, around four o'clock, there will be no one. Usually there are no cops around during weekends either...

Ten Years' Bad Luck
I lived in Columbus most of my life, though I was born down here in Kentucky. I moved back up here four years ago to help my dad. He lives next door. He's getting a little older-you know how that gets. He's not doing real good. When I got here, I...
