An absolute mountain of a man.
6' 4" with his socks on and built like a brick shit house. Really, he's a 140 kilo marshmallow. He's an important part of the Woop Woop Wombats Footy team and the question on everybody's mind is: Does Frank fuck it up? Going by his past decisions, the probability is high and expectations are low. You'll only find out if you read this epic Outback story.
There is a very good reason why Neville's nickname is One Nut. Bad decisions make the best stories and his is a ripper. Frank was involved, of course, and perhaps a small wager. One Nut also has drawn the attention of the local law enforcement officer who has been posted back in the area, after 25 years. One Nut, Vice Captain of the Wombats, is focused on winning the premiership trophy against their long term rivals, the Black Stump Bogans. Can they do it?
Two Stroke and Itchy are the current Woop Woop Bowls Club Doubles Champions and this year, the Club will celebrate its 50th Anniversary with a massive weekend of entertainment and winner takes all, bowls competition. Stakes are high and reputations are on the line against the Black Stump Bowls Club Champions, Chuckles Chaplin and Mugshot Mason. A change in the wind is coming and you won't believe what happens when the final bowl is delivered to the waiting jack.
Senior Sergeant Robert 'Postcard' Banks is back in the district after 25 years of postings in every corner of Outback Western Australia. He is looking forward to quietly spending his last 18 months on the job, before his retirement. First, he needs to track down a couple of local ratbags so he can 'have a word' with them. He may have his hands full, but he can still hold a grudge. Tracking them down isn't going to be easy and it comes down to the inevitable showdown in the second last paragraph in the Novel. You won't see what's coming!
