Prousty is a real Australian larrikin. He's a bush poet, comedian, firefighter, plumber, intrepid traveller and explorer, as well as a loving husband and father of six children. His poems and stories have enthralled and entertained people all over the world for years, and he leaves his mark on people and places wherever he goes.

Unfortunately Prousty was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2018 and will not be with us for much longer, so his mate, Ron Sinclair, has written this book as a celebration of his poetry, his crazy sense of humour, and his love of life. The book is a rollicking journey that will make you laugh, cry and wonder at the exploits of Dave 'Prousty' Proust.
