Australia's favourite car is the ute. Beaut Aussie Utes showcases the best of Australia's utes - and their owners - in photographs taken at musters and shows around the country. If you're one of the many ute owners or ute lovers across Australia, Beaut Aussie Utes is for you. You could be in the city, you could be in the country or maybe your ute travels the outback. Maybe your ute has taken you to a campsite by the beach or maybe you're working it hard on a dusty bush road. You could be in any state or territory of Australia, because there's nothing more Australian than a ute. Josh Bryce has travelled around Australia meeting Aussie ute owners and their vehicles, and taking their photograph. In Beaut Aussie Utes there are photos from the Darwin ute muster, Lights on the Hill truck show, a B&S ball in Western Australia, and musters in Queensland. Some ute owners are on their Ps; some are old-timers who have seen the wide brown land from their utes and they're still travelling. There are utes polished up for musters, mud-spattered utes and utes that are home to quite a few interesting stickers and flags. So whether you're partial to Holden, Toyota, Ford, Nissan or even a Dodge pick-up truck, you'll find utes to love in Beaut Aussie Utes.

Nothing is new under the sun and classic cars books come and go. But here, instead of a heavy, large, glossy book of classic car images and details destined to stay on a shelf, is something new. This book is designed to be read as a companion, a book that can go in the car or on a 'plane, and which can be read in full, or dipped into anywhere for a classic car fix. Old stories and new details are presented and cover all eras of our cars. Gathered here is a compilation of the author's published and unpublished adventures and opinions about the design and the driving of some of the greatest cars in motoring history. From 'vintagent' to 'modern classic', pristine to oily-rag, up hill, down dale and across continents, award-winning motoring author, designer and serial classic car owner, Lance Cole, charts the great classic car enthusiasm in a series of engaging essays about cars, car design and the men that made the motor industry. From tales of Malcolm Sayer to Bedelia, and of BMW, Jaguar, Bugatti and Porsche, to tales of old Saabs and rusty Citroens, classic car life is here. Erik Carlsson, Jacques Gerin, Giovanni Michelotti and Innes Ireland are just a few of the names that can be found in these pages. From design to driving, here is a book that is a classic car adventure.

Spanning the disciplines of sociology, history, media and cultural studies, and popular culture, this book offers a historical exploration of Australian masculine tropes and an examination of contemporary representations of masculinity in the media. With attention to a range of thematic issues, including race, gender, sexuality, mythmaking, media representation, class, and nationality, it draws on new qualitative research and interview material to investigate the ways in which everyday Australian men take up or reject such ideas. White Masculinity in Contemporary Australia thus explores the contradictory resistance to and adoration of ideals of masculinity, forms of Othering used to differentiate the practice of "good" masculinity from that of "bad" masculinity, the relationship between heterosexuality, masculinity and Australian sporting culture as central to ideals of masculinity, and the existence of differing pressures to be masculine. As such it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in gender and sexuality, Australian studies, and contemporary popular culture.

'There's a lot you can do with utes . . .' You can use them on the farm and they're great at a B & S. You can take them across the Outback - they'll never let you down . . . well, maybe. There's room for all your gear in the back, as well as your dog. Utes and mates go together, too: there's always a mate to tow you out when you get bogged . . . you hope! Allan M. Nixon, Australia's 'Uteman', has been out on the road again and brings you some great new ute stories. Meet the down-to-earth people from Gundagai to Wilpena Pound and beyond who share his passion: legendary country singer Lee Kernaghan and his Landcruiser; Mark and Karen who got married on the back of their Holden; Great-grandmother Beryl who loves her 1950s Bradford; Steve who has a fridge and a bed in the back of his Hilux. Of course there are other great Aussies like 'Chips', 'Outback Seaman', 'Frog', 'Macca' and 'Darkie' - and the 'Toyman'. From the Outback feral utes to the best-in-show utes they're all here, just like their owners - young and old.

Australia holds a unique place in the global scheme of fandom. Much of the media consumed by Australian audiences originates from either the United States or the United Kingdom, yet several Australian productions have also attracted international fans in their own right. This first-ever academic study of Australian fandom explores the national popular culture scene through themes of localization and globalization. The essays within reveal how Australian audiences often seek authentic imports and eagerly embrace different cultures, examining both Hollywood’s influence on Australian fandom and Australian fan reactions to non-Western content. By shining a spotlight on Australian fandom, this book not only provides an important case study for fan studies scholars, it also helps add nuance to a field whose current literature is predominantly U.S. and U.K. focused.

Building on and bringing up to date the material presented in the first instalment of Directory of World Cinema: Australia and New Zealand, this volume continues the exploration of the cinema produced in Australia and New Zealand since the beginning of the twentieth century. Among the additions to this volume are in-depth treatments of the locations that feature prominently in the countries’ cinema. Essays by leading critics and film scholars consider the significance of the outback and the beach in films, which are evoked as a liminal space in Long Weekend and a symbol of death in Heaven’s Burning, among other films. Other contributions turn the spotlight on previously unexplored genres and key filmmakers, including Jane Campion, Rolf de Heer, Charles Chauvel and Gillian Armstrong. Accompanying the critical essays in this volume are more than one hundred and fifty new film reviews, complemented by film stills and significantly expanded references for further study. From The Piano to Crocodile Dundee, Directory of World Cinema: Australia and New Zealand 2 completes this comprehensive treatment of a consistently fascinating national cinema.

It took ten years in the coal mines for Mitchell Burns to realise that no pay cheque is worth sacrificing your dreams. Now he’s making up for lost time. Mitchell Burns never wanted to be a miner. Growing up in a Queensland coal mining town with parents in the industry, pursuing his passion for photography just didn't feel like an option. So, he went in the only direction he knew – straight into the mines. After a decade in a job he hated, Mitch realised that he had put his dreams on hold for too long. With no blueprint for success, he turned away from mining to forge his own path in photography. In a vulnerable moment, he posted online about taking the leap – the now-viral video has inspired millions of people around the world not to give up on their goals. These days, hundreds of thousands of viewers follow Mitch as he travels Australia and abroad, sharing his breathtaking landscape photographs and how he captures them. His story is a compelling call to action for anyone who has ever longed to quit their day job and pursue their passion, proving that some risks are well worth taking – you just need to be brave enough to take the shot.
