The Black Singlet Brigade by Tony Walsh

Description

Tony Walsh was first introduced to NZ’s bush clad ranges, to pig hunting and some life defining experiences by Ned Tuite whose usual attire was a black woollen singlet and a pair of khaki shorts suspended from a thin leather belt. Through Ned Tony met a band of iconic good keen men of an era now past, and began a journey of experiences he will never forget.

There were the likes of ugly Eddie who ate all the pigs’ ears, Jack, who thought the ghosts were after him after a midnight tumble down the hill’ or Charlie, who didn’t know whether to mash his spuds before or after they were cooked. Men who were as colourful and multifaceted as the forests and mountains they came from.
