 DescriptionHere, in one magnificently illustrated volume, is the essence of Australia's rich and unique folklore - tall tales and true ones of our legendary characters; deeds, ballads and songs of bush heroes; stories of shipwrecks and sagas of the outback; and grim echoes of the convict days. Shearers and drovers, squatters and selectors, bushrangers and troopers-all the indelible folk heroes of our past are here, and new ones too: sports heroes and heroines whose names are part of our langauge and the Diggers whose deeds are now legend. No country has more robust folklore the Australia, nor so distinct a language. Richly humorous-yet full of epics and stark tragedy- this collection is one for all ages. The stories are timeless and part of our national heritage. This book contains hundreds of drawings and photographs of the era, creating a volume to be treasured.
