168 pages | paperback | Dicker Books (2011)
AUD $25
Skilfully crafted short stories set in the Australian outback in the 1930s to 1950s. Great humour. Tall stories. Wit as dry as a dead dingo’s donger.
Laugh and cry with the bush characters of Paddy, Timber, Taffy, Dutchy, Ding-Dong, Rusty, Squeaky, Stinky, Butch and many others as they get themselves into and out of awkward settings and situations that will be so familiar to anybody who has ever lived in the country. Meet them at the Commercial Hotel, the Railway Hotel, Joe-the-Greek’s Cafe, at the sale yards, on the farm or in the bush. As Aussie as the CWA, lamingtons, damper, Holdens, harvesters, cattle dogs, kelpies and a frill-neck on the black stump.
Taste the dust, shoo the flies, feel the heat shimmering off the plains, wipe the sweat from your brow, get yourself a cold beer, sit back and enjoy these great yarns.
These are great Australian short stories set in a fictional country town and will hold your attention to keep you laughing until the last page.
