Just watching Bruce in Aus on YouTube - one thing I will say when he’s grubbing around in decades old machinery left outside in Oz is he takes his pest control seriously! 🕷️😱

Lols - honestly buying this book was no hardship, it’s a superbly curated collection of photos and the photographers’ stories are fascinating too - I can’t recommend it enough (will that get me a pint 😂)
