Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

The corner country is the area to the extreme far north west of New South Wales bound by the Queensland border to the north and the South Australian border to the west. These two borders, part of the great trans-continental wild dog fence, intersect at Cameron Corner.

May Hunt's story traverses the Depression era when mechanisation began its inward journey to the backblocks and swaggies tramped the dusty roads. Memoirs of the Corner Country looks at the hardships of a nomadic family life, community relationships and the enduring struggle of a single mother with six children.

'Nana was an imposing woman. She was large and dark with silver hair that fell to her waist and strong arms that nestled me into her bosom. Her scars bore testament to her physical adventures. A lump in her shoulder at the age of 73 from the continual rebound of a 12 gauge shotgun and a .22 calibre bullet rested alongside her spine.' (back cover)
