How one man's job showed him the best of Australians and brought the best out in him.
Title: Accidental Weatherman
Author: Sam Mac
Year: 2021
Summary:Sunrise weather presenter sounds like a serious and somewhat boring job. That couldn't be farther from the truth, at least, that's not how Sam Mac does it. Since his journey began he has visited over 800 Australian towns and presented over 25,000 minutes of live television. Accidental weatherman is a montage of the amazing stories, people, communities and organisations that make Australia an amazing place to live. From primary schoolers to pensioners, bungee jumping and recording a song with The Wiggles, Sam Mac takes you across the country in a fun, exciting and hilarious way that only Sam Mac knows how.
