From Blighted Hopes to the West A Bushman’s Tale
The author recalls joining Dan and Tom to chase an Australian frontier dream. He writes of crossing the Blue Mountains toward a great adventure, meeting bushmen, drovers, and stations. After years of work and notes, he stays in the West to write from true experience, while reflecting on early failures and later success, with the lure of cattle camps and the promise of hard travel.
