In the remote Kalgoorlie Goldfields in Western Australia, Robert
McCracken was born in February 1928, just before the world
experienced its worst depression.
McCracken shares a lifetime of memories in his autobiography,
beginning with details of his early years as a gold miner's son in
a dusty Australian town. Life was not easy and often littered with
disappointment, hardship, and even danger. Hungry families lived on
kangaroo, rabbit, goat, and pigeons. After World War II ended,
McCracken bought his first motorcycle and joined the Goldfields
Motor Cycle Club, a decision that would change his life forever. As
he reflects on his life, he tells of many more adventures including
his travels to Asia, the United States, Mexico, and Europe.
McCracken also shares the fascinating story of how he carried
pieces of Skylab around the world in a plastic bag in his suitcase
and personally handed them over to the National Air and Space
Museum in Washington DC.
Through his collection of remarkable tales, you will witness how
McCracken survived such harsh circumstances as a young man and how
those experiences eventually built the foundation of his boundless
zeal for life.
