About this listen
Tall tales of bushmen, tradies and back-country rogues
Mike Bellamy's father Barry is as tough as they come. Widely credited as the inspiration for Barry Crump's back-country character Sam Cash, Barry was a roving worker in rural North Island during the 50s, 60s and 70s. Tough Country is a book about a father by a son, about a bygone era of bushmen, scrub-cutters, hunters and shepherds. It's also a book about the author's own life working the land, and the characters of the 80s and 90s, from tradies and digger-drivers to drain-layers and wharfies.

Good yarn but terrible narration
As a Kiwi brought up in the country on sheep stations and a dairy farm in the 50s and 60s, I was disgusted by the dreadful narration. I have never heard any Kiwi use that cringeworthy accent. The thought that non-Kiwis will get the impression that Kiwis talk like that is sickening. I reckon a certain famous Kiwi author who wrote about life out woop woop will be turning in his grave.
