Wet Week-ends and sheep showmen in Australianities
A compact excerpt from Australianities No 21 by Will Carter lampoons drought weary rural life with a British city’s view on rain and sheep. It features a shaggy ram tale at a show, Nightmarish Ned’s tale of cooking mishaps, and ends with news of the Lawson Anniversary, inviting readers to join the Henry Lawson Literary Society in September for lectures and remembrance.
