We of the Never-Never

A first-person memoir of a year at a remote outback station, presenting episodic scenes of daily routines, long travel, weather extremes, and the practical work of running a station. The narrator sketches a gallery of vivid personalities and passing visitors, recounting humorous mishaps, river crossings, household arrangements, and stock-handling tasks. Landscape description and episodic anecdotes convey isolation, mutual dependence, and an almost irresistible attachment to the place, showing how community, endurance, and small domestic rituals shape life in a distant pastoral setting.
