Where Country Is - the latest book from John Elliott brings the history of country music since 1985 alive and includes historical highlights, artists biographies and "over 200 of the best images ever taken". The official book launch was a feature event at the 2006 Telstra Tamworth Country Music Festival. Bob was delighted that John Elliott (a fellow Charlie Lamb Award winner) chose two of Bob's photographs for inclusion in his book - James Blundell's triple win at the 2005 (Mildura) Southern Stars and Kasey Chambers 2004 double ARIA Award win. Published by Rural Press Limited.
Issue 134 of Metro Magazine - Australia's oldest, continuously published film and media magazine. Included is Bob's 1500-word combined review of Clinton Walker's book Buried Country: The Story of Aboriginal Country Music (Pluto Press), the movie Buried Country (Andy Nehl, Film Australia) and the CD Buried Country: Original Film Soundtrack (Larrikin, 2000).
Bob began his music journalism with RAM (Rock Australia Magazine) back in 1976, writing album and concert reviews and feature stories. As well as now being a regular columnist in Capital News, his words and/or photos have appeared in other publications at various times including Metro, Country Update, Rhythms, Music Network, Encore, J.A.M.M., Across Country, Feedback and many more...
