Great Australian Shearing Stories

by Bill Marsh

Great Australian Stories (Marsh)

On This Page

Description

A selection of stories from shearers in South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland. In late 1999, Bill ?Swampy? Marsh began to collect shearing stories. When he was interviewed by ABC Radio broadcaster Colin Munro on SUMMER ALL OVER, dozens of people phoned in with their own tales. This book is a collection of those yarns. The world of shearing is filled with outback stations, larrikins, roustabouts, sagacious dogs and babbling brooks whose blood is worth bottling.
