The Secco Collection

Gallipoli Survivors, pioneer aviators, prison inmates, paspalum importers, entrepreneurs, risk-takers, steelworks heroes, moonshiners, missionaries and more. Such is the ancestry of one, David Peter Seccombe.

Quirky, hippy, idiosyncratic, eccentric, maverick, feral and on the descriptors go for this lovable and unique brother and friend we know as Pog, Poggie, Ned, Davo, Doc or Secco.

David Mansfield takes us on David Seccombe's journey; from one side of Australia to the other, and from one side of the world to the other, as we meet this quirky servant of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the king of God's kingdom.

We hear from Secco's family and friends, students and colleagues, along with the voice of Secco himself, as we view the life of this man through the lens of the lives of hundreds of others who have shared life with him. His ancestry, childhood conversion to Christianity, student life, academic prowess, love for adventure and gospel ministry will surprise, inspire and encourage anyone who dares to read this book.
