Outback Cop

Outback Cop is set in one of the most remote police postings in Australia, Birdsville. Life here can be lonely and uneventful for weeks, until the dramas come thick and fast. From desert rescues to rising floods, venomous vipers to visiting VIPs, this is not a job for the faint-hearted.

Senior Constable Neale McShane has single-handedly managed a beat the size of Victoria for the past ten years. Recently retired from this 'hardship posting', Neale and his family thrived on the adventures and colourful times that come with the territory in the furthest corner of the country.

In collaboration with friend and bestselling author Evan McHugh, Neale shares his experiences that are both humorous and heartfelt. How do you feed 4000 unexpected dinner guests? Where do you find a Chinook helicopter when you need one? Who's your backup when the population explodes for the famous Birdsville Races? And what do you do when you're the person the Flying Doctor is flying out?

Among these inspiring tales of danger and death, dreamers and 'dumb tourists', you'll encounter a little community with a big heart. They stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a larger-than-life policeman who has become part of Australia's outback legend.
