In 'I Once Met a Man', legendary Australian figure RM Williams tells wonderful stories of his most memorable encounters in the bush. From rough riders to sideshow fighters, from the best woman drover in the west to a young English lady who raised her sons with their Aboriginal father's tribe, Williams recreates the characters he met in his harsh and hungry years spent on the road with a swag.
When Williams sold a hand-made packsaddle to Sir Sidney Kidman for five pounds in 1933, he was in fact beginning one of the country's most highly successful manufacturing enterprises. The RM Williams label - famous for its sturdy riding boots, moleskins and oilskins - have since become beloved of country and city people alike.
