The Exotic Booze Club: True Adventures of Volcanoes, Cobras, and A... Beer Elephant

At seven years old, the young Brian Armstrong was captivated by the pages of an old, yellow-bordered magazine. Pictures of far-off jungles, exotic wildlife and intrepid explorers prompted the boy to declare, "That’s what I’m going to do when I grow up."

Twenty-five years later, the boy from Bendigo found himself travelling from one death-defying adventure to another as an expedition filmmaker for the same company that produced those yellow-bordered magazines.

In true larrikin spirit, and against his employer’s strict anti-alcohol policy, Brian exhorted fellow filmmakers and explorers to share strange liquors and wild tales of daring exploits. This book gives you the true stories from behind the scenes of Brian’s most dramatic films, framed by the rise and fall of the one and only Exotic Booze Club.
