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 Lesley Harding, Kendrah Morgan. 2015

have entrusted the truth to be told through this intimate biography of John and Sunday Reed. Equal parts romance and tragedy, Modern Love explores the lives of these champions of successive generations of Australian artists and writers, whose works and personalities John and Sunday carefully curated to suit their artistic tastes and sexual passions. It is a story of rebellion against their privileged backgrounds and a bohemian existence marked by extraordinary achievements, intense heartbreak and enduring love, a remarkable partnership that changed all those who crossed the threshold into Heide and altered the course of art in Australia.By Brenda Niall. 2012

of their father and grandfather overlanding from Queensland in the 1880s and setting up four vast cattle stations in the remote north. A year spent together on the stations in their early twenties ignited in the sisters a lifelong love of the Kimberley, along with a growing unease about the situation of the Aboriginal people employed there. Through war, love affairs, children and eventual old age, the Duracks continued to write and paint - their closely intertwined creative lives always shaped by the enduring power of the Kimberley region. With unprecedented access to hundreds of private family letters, unpublished memoirs, diaries and family papers, Brenda Niall gets to the heart of a uniquely Australian story that spans the twentieth century.By Henry Lawson. 1984

By Rachael Mead. 2018
This is an alive, refreshing and, quite literally, elemental book of water and skin, muscle and fire. Rachael Mead's poems…
are immediate and grounded whilst entwined with fragility and struggle. They don't shy from the difficulties and sadness as well as joy in human kinship. Along the way Mead offers us a clear-eyed self-consciousness of the human within the larger places of the earth, in this case places such as Antarctica, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, Ikara-Flinders Ranges. The book offers us an embodied sense of secular ritual in its attentiveness and its use of form-lists, lyric iterations, admonitions-as the poet both argues and confides with herself and us, about the wild pleasures of earth's physical and emotional topographies, and of our responsibilities within all this. A powerful and invigorating book of journeys well worth taking.By Thuy On. 2022
