About this listen

There's no two ways about Les Norton – the carrot-topped country boy who works as a bouncer at Sydney's top illegal casino. He's tough and he's mean. He's got a granite jaw, fists like hams, and they say the last time he took a tenner from his wallet Henry Lawson blinked at the light. Lethal but loyal, he's always good for a laugh. In this, the third collection of Les Norton adventures, Les gets his boss off the hook. But not without the help of the boy from Binjiwunyawunya. Les then finds himself in a spot of bother in Long Bay Gaol then in a lot more bother on a St. Kilda tram in Melbourne.

A true story teller, capturing the essence of Australiana and indigenous ways of life.
So many laugh out loud moments, and portrayed in a vibrant and touching way with each character.
Highly recommended!

Seriously entertaining, funny and a bloody good yarn

Nothing to dislike. Another great story with the good old Aussie twists.
Why a minimum of fifteen words to leave a review has got me knacker.

Great story and well narrated

Les is full of mischief again. Seems to find trouble every where he goes but still manages to survive it all. Very funny!

Absolutely hilarious!

I've read/listened to a few in this series and although they follow a fairly set theme, I've found them very entertaining. Set in a different era, they may seem dated to younger listeners and there is a bit of "language". Nevertheless an essential part of Australian crime literature.

Likeable villain in two entertaining stories

Funny Australian stories told in a style long since killed off by the PC Police.

Entertaining, Politically Incorrect
