AUSTRALIANA Retired drover, Bruce Simpson takes us on a journey through the outback visiting the watering holes and final resting places of some of our earliest settlers and pioneers.
It is often said that dead men tell no tales but this journey to some of Australia’s oldest bush pubs and the graves of settlers in outback stations and on stock routes, revives the spirit of our early pioneers.
The stories of a wide range of characters from stockmen to bushrangers give an insight into everyday life in the bush and the perils and dangers that often lead to their untimely death. The legendary drinking places and the antics of the bushmen who inhabited them bring to life memories of times gone by.
Bruce Simpson weaves an evocative collection of bush verse – some of it his own – throughout the narrative. xiii, 178 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. #040423 Bibliography, p. 177-178.(Small ownership stamp.) Pioneers — Australia — Anecdotes. | Explorers — Australia — Anecdotes. | Australia — Anecdotes.
