Big Boys Toys!

Aussie blokes may grow old but they don't always grow up...in fact, often the only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys!  We are very proud to announce the release of our latest book, published by Allen and Unwin,  called Big Boys Toys.As you probably have guessed, it's about the hobbies grown men embrace - usually with an obsession and gusto that is impressive, to say the least. We have interviewed and photographed a wide range of "Boys" about their "Toys" including blokes with their own tug boats, paddle steamers, top-fuellers, UFO's, truck buggies - even a lighthouse.cover of big boys toys book

 You can order directly from us by emailing us.    PRICE:  $20.00 which includes standard postage anywhere within Australia.


Some of the toys in the book include:


  • Centurion battle tank
  • Cobb and Co Stage Coach
  • Top Fuel Drag Racer
  • Rocket launcher
  • Steam Car
  • Tug Boat
  • Paddle steamer

But the list could go on and on and on! Scott, being a Big Boy himself, had a great time meeting all these like-minded people and checking out their toys! If you know someone who might fit the bill (or have your own "toy" that we might be interested in) please Contact Us.  You never know, there might be a Big Boys Toys 2!
