Bob Marsh is just your average Aussie. Just your average self-made, happily married, comfortably retired Aussie. He tells us his story in a paperback recently published by Memoirs Foundation.
In his no-nonsense conversational style, Mr. Marsh introduces us to a distinct view of the world, one phase of life at a time. Through the haze of boyhood remembered, he gradually frames a picture of the whole man, fully realized in his role as husband and father, and in his life’s work in the Australian home building industry. Fully confident in his own abilities, he is also fully aware of his limitations. Shrewdly, he parlays the middle ground into his own business, whose growth is as steady as its owner’s personality.
By the end of the book, we know Bob Marsh as the kind of person whose rock-solid sense of values lays the foundation for his success as a builder. More significantly, his character is revealed as the kind of mortar that forms the foundation of today’s Australia. This is as “Dinkum Aussie” as it gets.
Don’t expect the literary equivalent of Rembrandt – his story is told in a style more analogous to primitive art. Primary colours are the rule. “Staying involved” is his mantra. But this is Bob Marsh, pure and simple. Self-sufficiency, family, and fairness are his true building blocks.
In today’s video-obsessed, turbo-charged world, “Dandaloo” is a calming and curiously refreshing read.
