Brumby by Kathryn Massey,Mae Lee Sun Pdf

The Brumby holds a special place in the Australian psyche. Immortalised in films such as The Man from Snowy River and books like the Silver Brumby series, Brumbies epitomise the spirit of freedom and courage beloved by most Australians. Today, however, they face an uncertain future. Considered by some to be feral pests and increasingly marginalised in lands that have been their home for over a century, Brumbies need our support more than ever before if they are to be protected for the enjoyment of future generations. Bringing together breathtaking photographs of Brumbies in the wild as well as often thought-provoking and entertaining stories from people privileged enough to have encountered or worked with them personally, Brumby celebrates the beauty, strength and indomitable spirit of these amazing animals.

The Brumby Wars by Anthony Sharwood Pdf

It's not just a war over horses. It's a battle for the soul of Australia. This is a book about the intense culture war raging around Australia's wild horses, known as brumbies. It pits a vision of the legendary Man from Snowy River and the iconic ANZAC Light Horse against the spectre of ecosystems destroyed by feral pests. The debate involves powerful politicians and media commentators, and stars an animal mythologised in Australian poetry and prose. But in essence, this is about us. The Brumby Wars is about Australians at war with each other over their vision of an ideal Australia. To ecologists and people who ski, walk and fish in the High Country and other areas where the brumbies proliferate, they are a feral menace which must be removed to save delicate alpine landscapes. To the descendants of cattle families and many Australians in urban and regional areas, brumbies are untouchable, a symbol of wildness and freedom. Something has to give. But what? The land or the horses? This war is set to escalate dramatically before we have an answer. Featuring interviews with characters from all sides of the debate, The Brumby Wars is the riveting account of a major national issue and the very human passions it inspires. It is also a journey, a quest to understand what makes us tick in our increasingly polarised country. Praise for Anthony Sharwood's From Snow to Ash 'Makes for inspirational reading' West Australian 'A distinctive, charming narrative ... a thinking, caring man's trek' Canberra Times 'A joyous read with personality in spades ... A book for the adventurer in us all' Australian Geographic

The Brumby Creek Tales by John D'Mille Pdf

The four items in this collection are provided free of charge in the pdf edition as an add-on to my short novel, Poor Angelina. Country Stories from the early years of that century that was best remembered by those who handed us our history lessons, (The 19th to the 20th!). It was a good time; our world was comparatively untouched by wars, but for that sorry event The Boer War. They were protected from the worst news by the mere monthly cycle of news print in many parts of our home-lands. There are no heroes and no grand events; just every-day happenings that have a humourous and entertaining twist. The reader will identify with the characters. Some are likable. Some are forgettable, but forgivable. The psychoanalyst would agree that there is one of each kind of psyche. The historian would say they were typical country folk, but that just depends which one the reader feels closest to. Enjoy!

In Search Of A Wild Brumby by Michael Keenan Pdf

Bestselling author Mike Keenan is off again – this time with the daunting task of capturing a Snowy Mountains brumby, following in the footsteps of the Man from Snowy River. When Mike Keenan decided to search for a brumby to add to his dwindling stock of farm horses, he never dreamed he'd find himself crashing down a mountain in classic Man from Snowy River style. Despite what he describes as 'one of the scariest half-minutes of my life', he lived to tell the tale –and the result is both an adventure story and a compelling portrait of the life and troubled times of the Australian brumby, and of the mountain people who live alongside them. Brumbies hold a special place in the hearts of many Australians, reared on Banjo Paterson's epic poem and Elyne Mitchell's Silver Brumby novels, and the news of the slaughter of more than 500 in Guy Fawkes National Park caused public outrage. But what does the future hold for the brumbies that have roamed the Snowy Mountains and other wilderness areas for more than 150 years? Are they part of our unique heritage, or merely feral creatures threatening delicate ecosystems? As his quest for a brumby of his own is overtaken by his growing interest in their plight, Mike shares campfires and rollicking yarns with a host of bush characters who could have stepped straight out of Banjo's poem – and pursues the elusive wild horses through the snows, mists and treacherous bogs of the spectacular Snowy Mountains landscape.

Brumby Plains by Joanne Van Os Pdf

Sam and George, 13 and 11, live at Brumby Plains, their parents' sprawling buffalo station in the Northern Territory. They're counting down to the Christmas holidays, and anticipating the fun they'll have exploring the property, horse riding, and spending time with their cousins Tess and Darcy. But weird things are happening at Brumby Plains - who is leaving the gates open, and why did a plane land in darkness in a deserted area? A chance encounter with an Englishman who knows more than he's letting on leaves Sam suspicious, but all their worries are forgotten as the four kids find a spooky cave up in the hills. Vincent, their old Aboriginal friend, says they shouldn't go there - he says it's a dangerous place, full of angry spirits. Surely there's no harm in exploring, though - is there?

The Brumby of the Purple Haze by K.L. Barry Pdf

It all began at the beginning of autumn in 1975. I was a young girl who lived with my family near a remote little town called Freemans Waterhole, south west of Lake Macquarie out in the bush, miles from my school friends and neighbours to speak of, except for creepy old Mr Peters. Most days I had to fi nd my own entertainment when I got home from school for there was never anything interesting on the TV, besides I like to get out side and be free like go for rides on my horse I called Sunny, through the bush and along the fi re trails with my dog. Occasionally I would come across wild brumbies that roamed about the bush and on this particular day we found an old grey brumby. My ride was only going to be a quick one before dinner, but when I saw this old brumby for the fi rst time I sensed a certain feeling about him like he was special in some way. From here I knew I had to see him again and fi nd out where he hung out and who with. This lead me to an adventure that almost became life threatening, and to say the least, it was interesting where I wasn’t sure if my mind was playing tricks on me or what was happening. Was it caused by the old brumby? I may never know for sure or work out what really happened. Maybe only time will tell
