Kangaroo Creek: An Adventure Story about a Bloke from the Bush (2009) By Garry Chad and Gary McKay
 
A real life story of a larrikin Australian. Garry Chad tells of growing up in the bush, of close Aboriginal connections, of army experiences in peace and on active service in Vietnam with three different infantry battalions. Sometimes humorous; sometimes brutal; always honest - this book tells it as it is.
 
The author served on three tours of duty in Vietnam – 1,6 and 4 RAR. He tells the story of these deployments and also that of Wang Chi Hoe, a soldier from the other side, weaving their stories of beginnings in rural environments up to their colliding as mutual enemies in South Vietnam. 
 
Gary John McKay MC is a writer and former Australian Army officer. He was awarded the Military Cross while serving with the 4th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment during the Vietnam War. He later served as Commanding Officer of 8th/9th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment between 1988 and 1990.
