Excerpt from Under the Street Lamp: Vignettes of Australian Bush Life Much of the literature dealing with Australian bush life has represented, and for the most part, faithfully, the rougher, and it may be said the coarser and lower, elements in the charac ter of the back-blocks worker. But every one who knows the true Australian bushman knows that he has another side. Against the almost universal indulgence in drink, gambling, profanity, and general rowdyism, must be placed many noble characteristics.

Excerpt from Paving the Way: A Romance of the Australian Bush As, in a work on Australian pioneer life such as this purports to be, it might be difficult to present bare facts in an acceptable form to the general public, my object has been to blend truth and fiction in a connected narrative. That it partakes largely of a romance is certain, but the incidents, though so romantic, are mainly authentic; for these lives have been lived and these deaths have been died. It is not alone on the familiar ground of the Old World that heroic deeds have been performed or suffering nobly endured. To particularise too closely would not add interest to the story for the public, though it might in the opinion of those acquainted with many of the occurrences alluded to or more or less related.

Reminiscences of an Australian Pioneer (Classic Reprint) by Robert D. Barton Pdf
Excerpt from Reminiscences of an Australian Pioneer In writing these reminiscences I have been persuaded by my friends to give my life and anecdotes exactly as they stand in my memory, but in doing so I find some difficulty in blowing my own horn without making myself out to be more than I am. However, as no one else can give my life, I must ask my readers to remember, in the lines of Will Carleton, that - "For people's lives, full well we know, Two sets of things recall, The one of which we always tell, The other not at all," I was born in 1842, and, if not a pioneer, I certainly think I was a pioneer baby of those born two hundred miles west of Sydney, and I was probably a year or two old before the first clergyman came into that part of the country. This was a Mr. Gunther, who came from Mudgee, and had a field day of christenings, I believe, at Boree, the wool-shed having to act as church, as there was no room in the house for the families that came to have their offspring christened. Of course, I do not recollect this, but that is what I was told. My aim is to record my memories, which may, however, in some cases, have been coloured by circumstances and conditions that followed later.

Digging, Squatting, and Pioneering Life in the Northern Territory of South Australia (Classic Reprint) by Mrs. Dominic D. Daly Pdf
Excerpt from Digging, Squatting, and Pioneering Life in the Northern Territory of South Australia The first three years of my sketch, viz., from 1870 to 1873, are written entirely from memory, unaided by notes, journals, or letters; and as my relatives who were with me then, are now scattered all over the world, I have been deprived of the help they would have given me. The latter part of the book I have compiled from every authentic source I have had access to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Routledge Companion to Australian Literature by Jessica Gildersleeve Pdf
In recent years, Australian literature has experienced a revival of interest both domestically and internationally. The increasing prominence of work by writers like Christos Tsiolkas, heightened through television and film adaptation, as well as the award of major international prizes to writers like Richard Flanagan, and the development of new, high-profile prizes like the Stella Prize, have all reinvigorated interest in Australian literature both at home and abroad. This Companion emerges as a part of that reinvigoration, considering anew the history and development of Australian literature and its key themes, as well as tracing the transition of the field through those critical debates. It considers works of Australian literature on their own terms, as well as positioning them in their critical and historical context and their ethical and interactive position in the public and private spheres. With an emphasis on literature’s responsibilities, this book claims Australian literary studies as a field uniquely positioned to expose the ways in which literature engages with, produces and is produced by its context, provoking a critical re-evaluation of the concept of the relationship between national literatures, cultures, and histories, and the social function of literary texts.
