One Life Is Not Enough: My Life : My Town (Fremantle)

WEST AUSTRALIANA Fremantle
“My life: Vern Nelson reckons one life is not enough. This is his story of a life lived to be full. The tale of a boy with a burning ambition in to rise above his working-class origins. To become self-employed, an entrepreneur, an inventor, owner of multiple businesses, hotels, and racehorses. A story, not just of success, but also of failures and setbacks. It is a about a life crammed full of interest. My town: Fremantle is the major port city in Western Australia. Located at the mouth of the Swan River it is an important historical site where indigenous people gathered for thousands of years, long before settlement by the British in 1829. Just some of the town’s long and fascinating history is described in this book. It’s where Vern was born and where he has spent most of his 92 years. It’s a town he loves.”
