Summary:
The Long Reach of Service: From Longreach to Legacyis the remarkable life story of David Muir—a self-described "boy from the bush" whose values were forged on a sheep property near Longreach and carried into the highest levels of national civic life. From early lessons in resilience, responsibility, and community, Muir's journey traces how a deep sense of service can shape a life of purpose and impact far beyond its beginnings. - publisher's website.
