Wild Cattle, Wild Country: Old Mates and Memories from the Top End by Anne Marie Ingham

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Some scratches to top spine covered with dust jacket. A few foxing sports on inside blank endpages. Dust jacket has some light creasing at top edge and at spine.

When young Ernie Rayner arrived in 1959, the Top End was the daily scene of rugged exploits - larger-than-life outback characters sharing true tails of adventures with scrub bulls and buffalo, road trains, crocs, horses and helicopters.

Up to the 1980s, men and horses chased wild cattle through perilous but breathtaking beautiful landscapes on stations in the Northern Territory and northern Western Australia.

Anne Marie Ingham captures the colourful world of bull catchers, ringers, drovers, pilots and Aboriginal stockmen working on stations where they grew up.
