Tough Outback
MIKE BELLAMY
My first book for HarperCollins NZ. A Kiwi’s stories of misadventure, mining and mayhem based mid 80s in the WA town of Wiluna. A decade earlier I spent my early years just down the road at Mt Newman, below are some cracking photos from that time. I really enjoyed immersing myself in the colours of the outback once again, this time digitally, while researching and designing this wrap-around cover.
Released August 2022.

Here are my sisters and I with Dad holding a kid goat – I’m the little barefoot one. Those side burns ;-)
My sister, me (with belly and bucket hat) and Mum, hanging out with her mates – elders Molly and Toby.
