Australian Mike Brown writes about people, ordinary Australians, who through their compassion and commitment, "tried in their own ways...to play some part in turning the world right side up here in 'down-under' Australia." As the book cover states, "People whose ordinariness is their strength."
Those profiled in the book include, Ray Whitrod, who in his position as Queensland's Police Commissioner, fought courageously to expose corruption in that State; and Max Gale, a dairy farmer who looked beyond his local prospective to help India improve their milk production. As Dean Brown, Mike's brother and the former Premier of South Australia commented, "This book has a whole series of stories about people...it goes from local and very personal to the global and international."
