I once met a man: true stories from one of Australia’s greatest folk heroes. R. M. Williams. 1989.

In the many years since he left home at the age of fourteen to go bush - starting out as a lime burner and camel boy and moving on to found the manufacturing enterprise that has made his name a byword in the outback - R. M. Williams has himself led the sort of life that legends are made of, and along the way has shared many a camp fire and confidence with people of widely different persuasions, from preachers to horse thieves.
