The best Australian bush stories - Jim Haynes

Australia's national character and spirit have always been defined, rightly or wrongly, by "the bush." This entertaining, thought-provoking, humorous, nostalgic, and, above all, highly readable collection of stories for the modern reader shows why the romance endures. From Jim Haynes, one of Australia's most successful and prolific Australian authors, comes a collection of classic and iconic stories from the remote outback, cattle station, wheat farm, and rural town. The bush is where our iconic characters are found living in, taking refuge, or exploring, whether an Aborigine, explorer, squatter, bushranger, or stockman. Here are the big names of Australian bush writing and the lesser known writers who have been forgotten, but whose reputations are long overdue for revival.
