This book is the story of the forestry industry that fed the Australian Newsprint Mill at Boyer in southern Tasmania, the politics behind the enterprise and the people who worked there and lived in Maydena and the wider Tyenna Valley. Over a hundred people were interviewed for this wide-ranging book, from the General Manager of ANM to the whistle boys, and just about every job in between. These included the fallers and the first aiders, nurses and doctors who patched them up, the log measurers, loaders, road makers and the truck drivers who left their names for posterity on the tricky corners where they came unstuck. Plus so many more.
