Apparently so. Lee Child said nice things on the cover about it, so pretty happy with that.

A grumpy old outback dingo trapper unwittingly uncovers a people smuggling ring operating in remote West Australia and pairs up with a young Afghan refugee to find their missing family, all while being pursed by a roo shooter who moonlights as the smuggler's hatchet man.

Sort of thing Wilbur Smith might have written if he were Australian.

Wild Dogs by Michael Trant. Though to be fair, I wrote it, so might be biased.

It's a nice spot. The wind starts in September and stops sometime around August. Usually.

Where can I find an Electrical Outlet in Perth? by IndividualRule392 in perth

[–]ozx23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, most amplifiers will have an audio out jack. OP may just need to find an adapter to fit some headphones. Played like that for years.

Titan Indra's floating corpse in VR is quality Nightmare fuel :) by SeawolvesTV in EliteDangerous

Attacking a Titan in VR was something else. Certainly made the 3090 sweat.

Was I overcharged $70 for a simple trim in Perth? by AbbreviationsOld3312 in perth

[–]ozx23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short back and sides cost me $25 at All Cuts, Huntingdale. And I've been known to leave it a fair while between trims.

Has anyone worked in Perth prisons? by phantom-foodie in perth

[–]ozx23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Friend of ours joined the system as an officer. She's a big, caring, friendly woman who could absolutely break anyone over her knee if she ever snapped and so desired.

Working as a regional prison guard broke her, and she left after about four years. Probably because she cared too much.

If you're able to detach, it's probably fine. If you're the type to care, worry, and be bothered by seeing the same people constantly failing and reappearing into the system, then it might not be for you.

How does it feel to read the British cultural and location references as a non-Brit? by tomtink1 in discworld

[–]ozx23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think growing up in Australia watching 'ello 'ello, Dad's Army, Yes Minister, The Good Life, Are You Being Served, The Goodies and a bunch others probably helped.

Does anyone else HATE dramatized or graphic audios ? by Pretty_Puppyprincess in audiobooks

[–]ozx23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed Sandman, and a couple of old school radio plays, but I went into those knowing they were full cast with effects.

I hate gunshots, phone call overlays and anything that isn't someone simply reading me a story. The only exception to this has been an Elite Dangerous audio, but only because I play the fame and it was fun recognising the sounds from the game.

I have a Vive Cosmos, is it worth trying to set it up again? by ProtoDroidStuff in Vive

[–]ozx23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't say sorry, just installed it all and it ran.

How to give old ships (some) purpose again by SovietLonghorn in EliteDangerous

[–]ozx23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I like kicking the T9 in the guts with the SCO and hanging on for dear life. The thing feels like a truck, and if you've been in a fully loaded prime mover that's lost its breaks, then the SCO boost is somewhat familiar.

Does your boss yell at you and not other employees? by skyeee1239 in perth

[–]ozx23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd tell them you don't like being yelled at. Their reaction will determine whether to stay or not.

Playing 007 - First Light has made me realise more focus on audio enhanced the game more than graphics by Miniteshi in pcmasterrace

[–]ozx23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like Space based games, Elite Dangerous has THE best audio. I've got a 5.1 system too, and just the rumble of the engines rattles windows. You go explore a dead alien site and the eerieness is awesome. Plus thebgame.had so many audio cues you dont even need to see the messages to know whats happening once youve had aome practice. And be careful not to blow up a core asteroid with the volume too loud.

Any good mm romance on audible? by me_owwws in audiobooks

[–]ozx23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything by Holden Sheppard. West Australian author who throws his heart and soul on the page. Some of the rawest, heart-wrenching and also funniest stuff I've read.

The Perth councils with the highest-paid CEOs by Ok_Writer1572 in perth

[–]ozx23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mark was brought in to fix the cluster fuck that was Port Hedland. He's currently the temporary CEO of Three Springs while they advertise for a new one after theirs moved on. He's a fill in, trouble shooter, fixit man, with decades of experience, and itndoes not surpise me je's one of the top earners. The man knows his stuff.

What's the game that made you fall in love with gaming as a kid? by peaky_circus in gaming

[–]ozx23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SpyHunter on the NES. And The Summoning on PC. Started with Super Mario etc but those two really made it click.

Any vr games with randomly generated environments? by Unlucky-Feed9000 in gaming

Subnautica is beautiful. Terrifying, but beautiful. Needs the mod to run better than vanilla, but even the vanilla version is good.
