'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.
