Same Red Dirt: A Comical Memoir

When as a young man Pat Conrad gave up a good job and left the United States in search of greener pastures in Australia he didnt know what he would find--or even if he would come back at all. During the next thirteen months his freewheeling spirit and thirst for adventure brought him in contact with a parade of unforgettable characters. With refreshing honesty and a keen wit Same Red Dirt recounts Pats experiences working at Sydneys infamous Callan Park Mental Hospital where he spent time among some of the worlds most criminally insane; his escape to the sandy beaches near Sydney; his hair-raising experiences down the red dirt roads of Australias rugged Outback; and his series of unusual jobs as he made his way throughout the country. In this R-rated Christian memoir Pat shares how his bad choices along the way and his desire to fill a hole in his heart led to a major change in his life.
