And then my Mum took me to hospital - by Kevin Murray
Sydney “Baby Boomer” Kevin Murray relates stories from his early years, and is struck by the number of them that seem to end with the painfully revealing phrase “and then my mum took me to hospital”.
However, not all of the stories in this book concern physical injury. Many of them provide a glimpse into an era when life was simpler and childhood more carefree and adventurous. Many of them are told with a humour and poignancy that can only come with the perspective of time. Many of them mark significant milestones on the often tortuous path to adulthood and responsibility.
All of the stories are told in an entertaining style that will sometimes have you wondering how Kevin actually survived to write them, and may even have you recognising aspects of your own life.

Asia Diaries - by Kevin Murray
At the age of 24, having spent most of my life in the protective embrace of home, school, University, then school again (as a teacher), I decided it was time to cast aside the security of familiarity and to experience the wider world. I decided, like many Australians before me, to wend my way overland towards Europe. I had little money and even less of a plan, but in March 1975 I boarded a plane for Bali... with my worldly belongings barely stretching the sides of my backpack, but with a stomach full of butterflies and a head full of expectation.
Thus began a lifetime of travel.
I twice returned to South East Asia in the 20 years after this 1975 trip. This book consists of extracts from my travel diaries in which I recorded each visit. They chronicle not only how this part of the World has changed, but also the changes in myself as the enthusiasm, wonderment and excitement of that first journey inevitably became a fading memory.

Not a Peony Bush - by Dorothy Murray
This is a story of my family, or rather, of some members of my family. Not that they were famous - or even infamous. Nor were they immensely wealthy, in the ranks of high society, or politically powerful. They were just ordinary people leading ordinary lives, yet there is enough of interest in each of their life stories to warrant the recording of condensed accounts of their years on earth before these anecdotes are lost forever with the passing of the years.
