Bee Miles was famous for her outrageous public acts of defiance, whether stopping a country train in its tracks to hitch a ride or emerging from the surf with knives strapped to her thighs. But a new book reveals the troubled mind of the woman once voted more famous than the prime minister. 

Author Rose Ellis tells the story in her new book Bee Miles: Australia’s famous bohemian rebel, and the untold story behind the legend.
