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.

encouraged to find strength in their voices and what is important to them. maar bidi is a journey into what it is to be young, a person of colour and a minority in divergent and conflicting worlds. All talk to what is meaningful to them, whilst connecting the old and the new, the ancient and the contemporary in a variety of ways. These young essayists, critics, novelists, poets, authors shake down words and works to find styles, forms and meanings that have influenced them and all their writings.

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
