Bob Kearney's Great Australian Life

Join Laura Turner and her guest this week Professor Bob Kearney. A self-declared addict of recreational fishing for most of his life and keeper of the legends and lore of the Australian angler, Bob has cultivated and culminated his scientific knowledge and all-round passion into his new book: Fishing in the Good Old Days. In his book, Bob takes a look at the history of Australian fish and fisherman as well as a deeper insight into fisheries and Australian Marine ecosystems, spanning over six decades. Alongside some key powerful environmental and coastal activities, he perfectly blends his technical prowess alongside colourful personalities, unforgettable adventures in the pursuit of the lingering question – was it really better in the good old days? Great Australian Lives is proudly presented by Tobin Brothers Funerals. April is Say It Now month at Tobin Brothers Funerals. You can watch the welcome video HERE.
