A ‘coffee table’ book – worthy of any coffee table in the country. Tracking a truly Australian agricultural life with significant personal and business events.


Reflecting a passion for the ‘bush’, from boyhood to manhood, interwoven with agri-politics, agribusiness, the fluctuating fortunes of Australian agriculture, and the people who were an integral part over the past 70 years.
Wonderful recollections of schooling and jackarooing, to formative years and senior management at Dalgety, followed by the joys of building Clyde Agriculture.
Author David Boyd (82) says, “This is a labour of love.” Pastoral Pursuits has been written, edited and printed locally, providing an enduring legacy for family, friends and future agriculture purists.
Finished in hardcover, this stunning book is loaded with photographs printed on high-quality paper.
