Download or read book Mulga Madness written by Rex Ellis and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2013-07-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mulga Madness is a hilarious collection of true stories, which pay tribute to Australian bush humour – the determined antidote to hard work and loneliness. Rex Ellis is a master of the ingenious leg pull, the laconic understatement, the often explosive climax. He draws on his experience as jackaroo, sheep station overseer and outback guide, to introduce us to ‘bushies’; the men and women from outback towns and stations, often folk of few words who will go a long way for a beer and a laugh, and whose oddities and eccentricities, made more marked by isolation, make them fair game for the story teller. This wiry little bushman reckons he has had his fair share of ‘mulga madness’ over the years, but it’s not a bad affliction to suffer from, in fact, it’s a very desirable disease, being more likely to prolong life than to shorten it. Mulga is a tough desert acacia [Acacia Aneura]. It covers more area than any other Australian tree.

Download or read book Beyond the Mirage written by Arthur W. Upfield and published by ETT Imprint. This book was released on 2020-04-24 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To observe a ridge of sandhills was to wonder what lay beyond them... Perhaps it was the sense of freedom, both physically and spiritually, the knowledge that should I want to look beyond the sandhills and peer beyond the mirage, there was nothing but my two legs and a water bag to prevent me... As thousands did before me, and as men are still doing in these days, I asked for my cheque instead of orders one bright morning in May, and a week later an eager young man pushed a loaded bicycle out of Wilcannia. Arthur Upfield's autobiography was written in 1937 but put aside during the intervening years of the Second World War. Now available for the first time, here is Upfield's own story of tramping Australia and developing his great crime novels featuring Bony, the first Aboriginal detective, alongside real desert characters like One-Spur Dick, Mr Pluto, Dead March Harry and the evil Snowy Rowles. Illustrated with photographs from Upfield's archive.

Download or read book Mopokes and Mirages written by Rex Ellis and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mopokes and Mirages — both part of the great Australian Folklore, but neither having much substance. No such bird as a mopoke (see the Introduction to this book)and a bit hard to get your hand or mind around a mirage. Mopokes and Mirages is Rex Ellis’ eighth book, but unlike the title it is full of substance. Once started it is like taking the lid off a Pandora’s box – the stories (all true) and accounts that spill out are as varied as he rich landscapes and wildlife of the Australian continent itself. No subject is sacred to this South Australian Bushie – from how he acquired the iconic Birdsville Pub, to how he acquired’ or yarded up his wife Patti. More of his company’s great desert camel expeditions, his legendary inland boat safaris to Lake Eyre and other places, and a long chapter on four wheel drive vehicles he has owned over his forty five years as an outback guide. There are his regular chapters Bureaucracy and the Shinybum Brigade, and Along the rocky road of life! Throughout, his love and knowledge of this country, flora and fauna, particularly birds, is evident, as is his obvious concern for the health of the Australian environment. Last but not least is his great passion for his paddle wheeler, the sixty foot sternwheeler Dromedary. Of particular interest is his ongoing journey up the Darling River, getting the Dromedary to places where no large vessel has been for nearly a hundred years. A great read for lovers of the Land of Oz.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a concise edition of the Australian National Dictionary (OUP 1989) which was hailed as a major asset for readers studying Australian literature that made all earlier dictionaries of Australian English obsolete. The volume contains nearly as many headwords as the original edition, yet provides fewer collations, and indicates the first recorded, and most recent, use of a word. It retains the parent volume's comprehensive coverage of uniquely Australian words and phrases; words for indigenous flora, fauna, and pastimes; and Aboriginal terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Australia's best poets conjures the Australian countryside in this brilliant epic, inspired by Philip Sidney's classic pastoral "Arcadia." “Astonishingly fecund and inventive. The New Arcadia revitalizes pastoral traditions, but more in the mode of lamentation than celebration. Like Frost’s New Hampshire and Vermont, Kinsella’s Western Australia is eroded, a last act salted with the ruins of our age, and yet yielding permanent poems.”—Harold Bloom
