'Col Stringer is not what you would expect in the man who wrote the famous book 'THE 800 HORSEMAN'. He is a popular international public speaker, committed hasband, father and devoted grandfather. As you examine his life he appears to be more like the fictional Indiana Jones with his adventures into the Great Australian Outback witht he crocodiles, kangaroos, snakes and his Aboriginal friends. In his life of adventures he has been in some of the most primitive areas of Australia on horseback and four wheel drive. He has dared the elements, laughed at misfortune, preserved against the odds while retaining a warmth of character, a love for God's creation a promoter and example of what it means to be a man. His attitude and affection towards his family and friends, together with an unswerving persistence to do good make him unique in a world of weak and insipid make-believe men'

'Men are in crisis today! Yes, even the big bronzed Anzacs! We are witnessing a meltdown of masculinity! Where are all the men today? Modern society is rapidly becoming 'anti' male. Rugged, outdoor types are portrayed as brainless Neanderthals, and should you enjoy guns/hunting, well you must have 666 tattooed on your behind! Men! It's time to come out of the closet! Everyone else has, now it's your turn to stand up and come alive again! So to every red-blooded man I challenge you to be like the eagle and spread your wings, ride that horse, (or motor bike), climb that mountain, hunt that buffalo, raft that river, bunji jump off that mountain, dive that ocean, catch that great white shark, hike the Kokoda Track, visit Gallipoli. Whatever it takes to fire you up- do it, take the plunge and rediscover your manhood! Even if you have to do it afraid, be a real man and just do it!
