Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library copy with no external stickers. Stamps and stickers on inside pages. Significant wear to book corners and edges. Book is clean and binding is still very good. Large format paperback.

This evocative collection of outback folklore, poetry and true accounts paint a colourful picture of a variety of adventurers, drifters, ne'er do wells and reckless characters who thrived in an environment where guts and self-reliance were essential for survival.

Bruce Simpson was an outback drover up until the 1960s and is one of the few bushmen with the eloquence to relate his personal experiences in literary form. (back cover)
