Poor Fellow My Country

One for discussion: Can you really consider yourself well-read in Australian literature if you have not read Xavier Herbert's Poor Fellow My Country ?

Undoubtedly yes. It is sufficient merely to have heard of it.

So many haven't in either case. A monumental work, its toes being lapped by the shadows of latter years...

I once owned and read a copy of Capricornia... alas can't remember a thing about it. However your thread me to this interesting Wikipedia page on the "Jindyworobak Movement" which I had never heard of and may be of interest to you:
