Bunyips, Bogans and Brown Dogs by Paul Abbott | PBThis bloke has stolen my life. I wish I had written it. A very funny book. I believe almost every word of it. ~ Charles Wooley Have you ever spent a night on an old wooden yacht on its side on a mud bank? Been bitten by a tiger snake and survived? Hugged an albatross? Been nearly drowned by a platypus? Operated a remote lighthouse? Been pestered by a pelican? Had a very close encounter with a humpback whale? Paul Abbott has all these and more.

Have you ever spent a night on an old wooden yacht on its side on a mud bank? Been bitten by a tiger snake and survived? Hugged an albatross? Been nearly drowned by a platypus? Operated a remote lighthouse? Been pestered by a pelican? Had a very close encounter with a humpback whale? 

Paul Abbott has - all these and more. 

Bunyips, Bogans and Brown Dogs is a collection of tales from his experiences – some mundane, most quite unlikely – accumulated over more than 40 years of fishing, boating and almost drowning near, on, and sometimes reluctantly in, Tasmania’s waterways.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Paul Abbott was born in England, and migrated to Australia with his family at the age of nine, enduring six long weeks of debilitating sea-sickness in the process. Since arriving he has lived in Tasmania, with brief forays interstate and overseas. Paul obtained a BA in languages from the University of Tasmania in 1972 and has since enjoyed several careers (teaching English and modern languages, PR for the Education Department of Tasmania, and in a variety of both front-line and managerial positions in youth support work, employment services and vocational education.  He is now notionally “retired”, although home food gardening as well as fishing, boating, writing, cooking and occasional consultancy work keep him constantly busy. This is his first full-length work to be published, but won’t be the last!

Tough & fun!
Color: Betty Bigfoot
This is my puppy’s favorite toy. I’ve bought 4 in case he eventually finds a way to destroy the ball because he is a 1 year old super-chewer. That said, this ball is TOUGH! It’s taken severe abuse from our dog & we couldn’t be more satisfied.

Not as tough as they make it seem
Color: Buck Wild, Color: Buck Wild
My dog chewed it up and destroyed it in less than 4 hours. I have a GSP 8 month old. She’s definitely a super chewer but this didn’t last at all. The tail crumbled apart and she ate some of it.

This is a HEAVY Toy
Color: Buck Wild
This toy is HEAVY. Really good quality, but my dog hasn’t shown much interest. If you can find a way to get your dog to play with it, I’m sure it would last for awhile.

Barkbox Betty
Color: Betty Bigfoot
A lot smaller than pictured. Still like it. Durable. Dog likes to carry toy around. Dog is 70 lbs and a heavy chewer and toy has lasted.

Fave dog toy!
Color: Betty Bigfoot
Great toy! My dog prefers the ball inside which is great for chewing on, bouncing, and playing fetch. Very thick rubber, lasts a good while. The outside cover is pretty tough, but for those who like a challenge it should last a little while. It really depends on how determined and fierce the dog is about chewing! We’ve had 3 of them. We always keep a back up for when one expires!!
