What’s it about? Over 300 colour pages featuring stories of some of the North-West Coast’s most successful artists. Also, Justin’s nostalgic bus-trip and humorous dalliances on life in a small town. Not just any small town – Welcome to Burnie!

So says Myf Warhurst: ‘Justin’s genuine affection for Burnie shines through in this part memoir / part celebration of the folk who made the town great and paved the way for others who follow. Any kid who grew up in or is growing up in a country town needs to read this!’
