To Catch a Min Min - the life and times of Jack Heussler by John Heussler
The story of Jack Heussler is similar to the story of many young men who went west to seek their fortunes in the growing wool industry after the first world war. The settler's dreams of great riches, encouraged by the successes of the early pastoralists, evaporated before the realities of the Great Depression.
Likethe elusive Min Min light that could never be reached, the promised wealth seemd unobtainable. Only a few families with tenacity and courage, ansd a bit of luck, survived to see the Eldorado of the woolboom and the explosion of technology.
This gripping tale not only follows the development of Jack's ambition and its eventual fulfilment but also leaves the reader with a sense of development of Western Queensland and the rise and the fall of the great wool industry.
