In the first half of the 20th century, packhorse drovers - following in the footsteps of the early overlanders -…
took on the challenge of moving enormous numbers of cattle many thousands of kilometres across the country. They overcame extraordinary natural hazards and the tyranny of distance that stood between the far-flung stations and the markets. This evocative collection of outback folklore, poetry and true accounts paints a colourful picture of a variety of 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 a few bushmen with the eloquence to relate his personal experiences in literary form. "Where The Outback Drovers Ride" brings together two of his most popular works, "Packhorse Drover" and "Hell, Highwater & Hard Cases".By A. B Facey. 1985
Bert Facey saw himself as an ordinary man, but his remarkable story reveals a winner against impossible odds, who lived…
with simple honesty, compassion and courage. Bert's childhood ended at the age of eight years of age, when the parentless boy was sent to work on the rough West Australian frontier. As an adult, he struggled as an itinerant rural worker, survived the gore of Gallipoli, the loss of his farm during the Depression, the death of his son in world War II and that of his beloved wife after sixty devoted years - yet felt that his life was fortunate.By Greg Jones. 2000

even more remarkable is that he has limited vision and cerebral palsy. 'Walk a crooked mile' is the story of Lachlan's rise to the top of international wheelchair racing, told from his father's perspective. It is a journey that begins with the annual Rip to River fun run on Victoria's south coast - when a determined Lachlan walked his first crooked mile in the company of his father. The journey continues through bouts of illness, financial obstacles, and physical and social barriers until its culmination in Gold at the 1996 Atlanta Paralympics.By Henry Lawson. 1984

His poetry and prose blend together giving an insight into Henry Lawson's world and mind.Australia's history is one of epic journeys, intrepid explorers, and mysterious disappearances in far flung places. From perilous sea voyages…
to the distant south land, to forays across vast deserts on horseback, they are stories of endurance and misadventure, survival and loss. Master storyteller Graham Seal has gathered together a gripping collection of famous and lesser-known journeys by land, sea and air in the 19th and early 20th centuries. As Warren Fahey writes in his foreword, 'Some journeys, like those of Burke and Wills, Lasseter's First Find, and the razing of the riverboat Rodney, are relatively well known. Others, mostly unknown, are tales of bravado, determination and, sometimes, sheer madness.' From the comfort and safety of your armchair you can join some of Australia's bravest and also some of its most foolhardy men and women in their adventures.By Michael Smith, Aaron Patrick. 2017
Michael Smith spent 20 years restoring Melbourne’s beloved Sun Theatre and becoming one of Australia’s last independent cinema operators. He…
then set off on a rather different journey: to become the first person to fly solo around the world in an amphibious plane. With limited flying experience, no support team and only basic instruments in his tiny flying boat, the Southern Sun, Smith risked his life to make modern aviation history. His adventures include an unexpected greeting by Special Branch on his arrival in the UK, a near-death experience while leaving Greenland, and a wondrous journey up the Mississippi. In just seven months he made eighty stops around the globe, exploring twenty-five cities and communities, and visiting some seventy cinemas. All along the way Smith updated his online journal, cheered on by 50,000 followers. In 2016 he was named Australian Geographic's Adventurer of the Year.By Dan N Mayhew. 2011
Hope is a butterfly. Fear is a stone. As the father waits for his son to come home. For anyone…
who has been or has loved a prodigal child, here is a voice in the night that says you are not alone. 'The Butterfly and the Stone' is a story of fear and hope on a journey that leads from the safety of home to Iraq, and home again to face a fiercer enemy: post-traumatic stress and addiction. Woven throughout is God's love...found in a most unexpected place...By Leslie Cannold. 2005
What, No Baby? takes us on a journey into the lives of contemporary women whose plans to have it all…
- marriage, motherhood and work - have been derailed by reluctant men, insatiably demanding jobs and ever-climbing expectations of what it takes to be a "good" mother. Leslie Cannold argues that this is the twenty-first century's 'problem without a name' and that the unprecedented obstacles modern women face in achieving the life most of them want are tragically real. Women want to mother as much as they ever did. What has changed is their willingness to sacrifice everything they've built - everything they are - to do so.By Anne Summers. 2003
Among the most contentious issues Australia faces at the beginning of the 21st century is one that many thought had…
been dealt with in the '70s: the condition of Australian women. Debate still rages over their position in the workplace, their alleged failure to 'breed' sufficiently, their lack of true economic equality, and their inability to penetrate in any real numbers the proverbial glass ceilings in corporate and public life. What happened to the so-called feminist revolution? Why do most women feel exhausted and trapped? Is there real choice in women's lives today?
