LORD OF THE BUSH

 
 

In the 1980s, Lord Alistair McAlpine, a larger-than-life romantic, arrived from England creating a whole new civilisation in Australia's North beginning with Broome. Within hours of arriving in Broome he bought the cinema, a year later he'd started a zoo and a fancy resort. But what makes this man so interesting is the charm and sophistication he brings to an industry not renowned for either. ls he to be regarded as the clever hunter mesmerising his prey, or should he be welcomed as the most sensitive and intelligent developer this country has yet encountered?
