DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Mighty West chronicles the Bulldogs' remarkable journey from cellar-dwellers to champions – a journey their fans shared every step of the way. In 2016 the Western Bulldogs stunned the AFL world by winning the premiership – the club's first in 62 years. It was an unprecedented rise to success, capped by a stunning grand final victory that left players and fans alike shedding tears of joy. Just two years earlier the Dogs had been in chaos, without a captain or a coach. But under the leadership of Luke Beveridge, Robert Murphy and Easton Wood, and boasting a team filled with talented youngsters, the club came together in spectacular fashion, overcoming serious injuries and storming to the flag from seventh on the ladder. The Mighty West chronicles the Bulldogs' remarkable journey from cellar-dwellers to champions – a journey their fans shared every step of the way. It's a story that goes beyond football, a tale of family and belonging, of western-suburbs tribalism, and of the romance of sport.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKVIZARD UNCUT is the unauthorised and largely untold story of Steve Vizard's life. Drawn from extensive interviews and comprehensive research, VIZARD UNCUT seeks to demystify the enigma that is Steve Vizard: underpants salesman, corporate lawyer, Gold Logie winner, philanthropist, victim of a multi-million-dollar fraud and subject of a high-profile investigation by ASIC. In the early 1990s, Vizard revolutionised television comedy with the ground-breaking Fast Forward and Full Frontal, with characters such as Roger Ramshett, Hunch and the airline stewards Wayne and Darryl. He is also well remembered as the wise-cracking, stunt-pulling host of Tonight Live who interviewed everyone from Kylie Minogue to Gerard Depardieu. The late 1990s saw him become a part of the Melbourne establishment, especially in the arts, entertainment and sport. Then, in one swift blow, Steve Vizard went from icon to pariah. Steven Bedwell gives us the complete, complex story of the man, pieced together from never-before-seen documents and testimonies. VIZARD UNCUT brings to light the events of recent years that have shrink-wrapped themselves over a remarkably full and diverse life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Melbourne sound that is at once both rakish and debonair. So what specifically is it about Melbourne that, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, it’s able to support around 465 live music venues as compared to 453 in New York, 385 in Tokyo and 245 in London despite its population being a fraction of those major world cities? Despite the flaky weather, the footy and Netflix, Melbournians are committed to going out at night and in great numbers in heat or hail to listen to live music and to find those bands and singers they’ve heard on Spotify or discovered on Soundcloud.
