Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is is a book of short stories based on traditional Aussie front bars and the many funny pub characters in them. They are a key part of Australia's cultural identity and have been central to many great yarns and tall tales in Australian folklore. It gives an indication of what was going on in the town and even what the major industry was. It is based around Derek's journey in the hotel industry which began in South Australia in 1972, continued to the Northern Territory, followed on to Queensland, and then back to South Australia in 1990. The book is also based around traditional Aussie front bars and the many funny characters in them, the stories they would tell, and some of the extraordinary things they would get up to... "Eventually nothing would surprise me with some of the extraordinary and at times quite bizarre things I heard and witnessed in the front bar of some pubs. Some of the characters that I have encountered by just going to work, and the stories they would tell about the things they would get up to, were just far too bizarre, strange but humorous, and at times very scary, not to share with others." From having a beer with a psychiatrist who claimed to be off work on stress leave; to meeting a fellow who painted sparrows yellow and then tried to sell them as canaries; to winning two baby buffalos in a card game in the bar because the bloke that I beat had no money; to serving this unusual little man who claimed to be the first person in Australia to be shot out of a canon and watching this fellow walk into the pub with a popcorn machine strapped to his back, claiming that he just had a close encounter with an alien...

Download or read book The Australian Pub written by Diane Kirkby and published by UNSW Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pub is one of Australia's most-loved institutions. The Australian Pub takes us on an intoxicating journey through the colourful history of this Australian icon: from its colonial origins along the waterfronts and roadways used by travellers, through to the mid-twentieth century six o'clock swill, and on to the boutique bars of contemporary cosmopolitanism. The authors trace the essential role of the pub as an enduring provider of drink, food, entertainment, accommodation and illegal betting, as well as its relationship to sport, and its battles with licensing laws. The hubbub of the public bar, patrons' loyalty to the local, the friendship of the lounge, the work of kitchen staff and barmaids, the local standing of publicans, and classic pub architecture and heritage - all are explored in this comprehensive history. This beautiful book celebrates our pubs, proving that they are, and always have been, more than just a place to drink.

Download or read book Dark Emu written by Bruce Pascoe and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dark Emu puts forward an argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating and storing - behaviors inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag. Gerritsen and Gammage in their latest books support this premise but Pascoe takes this further and challenges the hunter-gatherer tag as a convenient lie. Almost all the evidence comes from the records and diaries of the Australian explorers, impeccable sources.

Download or read book Best Australian Drinking Stories written by Jim Haynes and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It seemed like a good idea...at the time.' - the lament of many a morning after Rum, beer, scotch, wine, beer and more beer. For nearly 250 years Australian history has been punctuated with stories of booze and boozing. From Cook's voyages and the First Fleet to the Rum Rebellion, the mutiny of the 99th Regiment, the soldiers' riot of 1916, six o'clock closing and beyond, we've been a nation that likes a drink. With the eye of the master storyteller that he is, Jim Haynes has collected the best yarns, verses, stories and anecdotes of our boozy history. He uncovers the good and the bad of our national character and its relationship with grog. He celebrates the social gift of alcohol and riotous moments of mateship and camaraderie, but he also offers salutary tales of its consequences - the hangovers, the suffering, the recriminations and the grave occasions subverted by drink. Amusing, wry, tragic and surprising, Best Australian Drinking Stories asks you to grab a glass of your favourite beverage, get comfy and enjoy this fascinating collection of stories about Australia's love affair with booze.

Download or read book Beyond the Ladies Lounge written by Clare Wright and published by Text Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clare Wright's award-winning research challenges the myth that the Australian pub is a male domain, revealing the enduring and dynamic presence of female publicans behind the bar. Wright takes the reader on a pub crawl through this history: from Sarah Bird, the 27-year-old convict who was Australia's first female licensee, to Big Poll the Grog Seller, the miners' darling on the goldfields, to Cheryl Barassi and Dawn Fraser in recent years. Handsomely illustrated and weaving oral history interviews, archival sources, folk songs, bush ballads and other popular literature throughout the narrative, this groundbreaking book exposes the remarkable visibility and dominance of women in Austalian hotel-keeping culture. Clare Wright is a historian who has worked as a political speechwriter, university lecturer, historical consultant and radio and television broadcaster. Her first book, Beyond the Ladies Lounge: Australia’s Female Publicans, garnered both critical and popular acclaim. She researched, wrote and presented the ABC television documentary Utopia Girls and co-wrote The War That Changed Us, a four-part series commemorating the centenary of WWI for ABC1. The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka won the 2014 Stella Prize. Clare lives in Melbourne with her husband and three children.
