"That’s life, actually!" - Limited 3rd Edition

This thoughtfully revised and updated 3rd Edition includes an additional 500-word memory dedicated to the author's late father Brian Sarre; an extended Index of Friends and Acquaintances Mentioned in Rick's witty and insightful 500-word memories; and some updated photographs from his collection.


Rick Sarre has been the ‘go to’ legal commentator on ABC local radio for over two decades, and a regular contributor on legal matters for The Conversation and The Advertiser. Veteran federal parliamentarian Christopher Pyne once described him as his favourite electoral opponent. Now that he’s retired, Rick Sarre has written a series of personal reflections on education, politics, history, sport, religion, legal practice, academia, travel, and family life. Drawing upon 50 years of daily journal writing, in stories each of 500 words, Rick ponders his successes and failures, his joys and heartbreaks, and his likes and dislikes. He reveals his favourite acquaintances and the lessons that his life’s journey has offered him. His conclusion? That our existence on this planet is rich with meaning. While sometimes tinged with sadness, our lives are often punctuated with moments of exhilaration and peppered with random acts of kindness. These experiences are worth celebrating at every turn. In Rick’s own words, "That’s life, actually!"


This collection is a delightful and eclectic weaving of reminiscence and personal reflection, bound together with Rick’s witty asides and great insights. His curiosity and compassion shine. Read it, you won’t regret it. – Linda Matthews


Rick has taught and inspired a generation of lawyers in Adelaide. From his diaries, we now can see what inspired him! It’s a good read. – Franco Camatta
