The story of Bernborough is an uplifting one, decked with highs and lows, focused around the life of a phenomenal Australian racehorse. Played out from the beginning of World War II, the story includes several colourful characters along the way. Bogus records, a ring-in, massive betting coups, suspense, controversy and intrigue all feature around Bernborough. The racing stewards in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Newcastle repeatedly banned him from competing at their racetracks. Only in postwar Australia was he allowed to perform on the metropolitan racecourses. Then, within months, this amazing galloper set the nation agog. An enigmatic hero, Bernborough rapidly became a household name without anyone ever knowing all that was involved. When he was later booked for stud in Kentucky, his sale to Louis B. Mayer from MGM studios was also loaded with never-ending controversy.

The Bernborough Phenomenon tells the tale of the emergence of a champion racehorse from the small Australian country town of Toowoomba that went on to become perhaps Australia's greatest thoroughbred since Phar Lap. The Bernborough story would not be out of place in a Nat Gould or Banjo Patterson bush racing yarn, yet the story of Bernborough is true even if it still has a few loose ends...

In 1973 the firebombing of the Whiskey Au-Go-Go nightclub grabbed the headlines in Brisbane unlike any other disaster beforehand. 15 people were killed amid the inferno, the worst mass-murder ever in Australia. Rumours were rife. Detectives were forewarned, but was the firebombing part of an implausible notion to embark on an extortion racket? Or was it a scheme for insurance purposes? Perhaps it was the act of a disgruntled customer, a former employee, or someone owed money? Politicians from all sides of Parliament demanded quick answers. Unbeknown to but a few, early in the morning after the fire, Billy McCulkin was the first person interviewed by detectives while his wife and young daughters fled from their Highgate Hill house; and they only returned to their house after the arrests of John Stuart and Jim Finch. Later, Mrs McCulkin confided to her co-worker, as well as a neighbour, and her brother that she feared for her safety because she knew her husband and his associates were involved in both the Torino and Whiskey Au-Go-Go nightclub fires. During the months of anxiety for Mrs McCulkin, the courtroom appearances of Stuart and Finch heard repeated outbursts from them asserting that detectives had concocted a false verbal confession. The subsequent wire-swallowing protests by Stuart and Finch were extraordinary. Finch even whacked off a piece of his finger, but the self-mutilating efforts from both achieved nothing. The trial, being the longest and costliest staged in Queensland, proceeded without Stuart, or any legal representative for him, while he lay handcuffed to a hospital bed - a first for any Australian court when a life imprisonment term is mandatory. Not long after the Whiskey murder trial, and the fifth reported wire-swallowing protest from Stuart, Mrs Barbara McCulkin and her two daughters disappeared, murdered by Vince O’Dempsey and Gary Dubois, though they were not then brought to stand trial because the case was far too riddled with the standard 1970s police corruption. Interwoven around the Waterside Workers Union journal, Port News, as its publisher William Stokes’ account of his acquaintanceship with everyone concerned - including the bizarre Clockwork Orange gang and a nympho wife who believed she was demoniacally possessed - leads to a harrowing tale. Expect the unexpected.

Nero: for thousands of years his name has stood synonymous with the Roman Empire. But why? What was it about this enigmatic personality that catapulted him into becoming Emperor as a 16-year-old? It was at a time when Rome not only ruled the world, but also managed to house 1 million inhabitants - a population achievement not reached for almost a further 2,000 years when Queen Victoria reigned in London. In his heyday, pagan priests proclaimed that Nero was a living god, whilst hundreds of years after his death the Christian Church branded him as the Antichrist who would one day return to wreak havoc and destruction upon the planet. Throughout the many historic books published about Nero not even the historians are in total agreement with what happened during his lifetime, though the theologians do agree that the biblical number 666 is the Apostle Peter’s code-number for Nero. He certainly fiddled while Rome burned and then sentenced hundreds of Christians to a hideous death before banning any further worship of this religion. Forgetting his many murderous acts, games, extravagant parties and building projects, above all else, Nero believed that the god, Apollo, had blessed him with a divine voice, as well as the theatrical talents to entertain an audience.

This beautifully illustrated book celebrates the horse in Australia past and present. From Cobb & Co to Black Caviar, from the Walers of World War I to The Man from Snowy River, it showcases our best historical and contemporary images. The horse has been an integral part of Australian history since the First Fleet brought the first horse to our shores. From the resilient workhorses of colonial Australia and the determined stockhorses rounding up cattle, to the thoroughbreds that capture the country’s imagination at every Melbourne Cup, horses have contributed to many of the great human feats in our history. Here, alongside 180 stunning images, Nicolas Brasch shows why we love horses – and how they have been captured so strikingly by our photographers and artists.
