The Nowhere Place by Roger Dunlop

Roger Dunlop, much-loved general practitioner in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, has chronicled a life that encompasses the land, the medical profession, and not least his own iconic and eccentric family. In this lively and forthright memoir he describes a privileged 1920s childhood, his training in medicine at the University of Sydney and Sydney Hospital, his passions for cars, cricket, cats and women, and a family murder mystery. Two years spent as an army medical officer at Hiroshima led to a life-long interest investigating the effects of radiation on World War II veterans; life as a farmer fuelled his campaign to find a satisfactory policy to combat Johne's disease among farm animals.

Often politically incorrect, and told with humour, affection and a determination never to bow to injustices, major or minor, from either side of the political spectrum, Roger Dunlop's account of his life is a delight.
