Through Ned Tony met aband of those iconic good keen men of an era now past and began ajourney of experiences he will never forget. There were the likesof ugly Eddie who ate all the pigs? ears; Jack who thought theghosts were after him after a midnight tumble down the hill; orCharlie who didn?t know whether to mash his spuds before or afterthey were cooked. Men whose characters were as colourful andmultifaceted as the forests and mountains they came from. The BlackSinglet Brigade is a memoir written with eloquence and a dash ofhumour at every turn. It combines the untamed beauty of the wildwith hilarious adventures and unique characters to build a pictureof a life long gone in the bush and back-country of New Zealand.
