Ironbark Splinters: From the Australian Bush

Hardcover
(Forgotten Books, Jan. 26, 2018)
Excerpt from Ironbark Splinters: From the Australian BushThis book does not profess to be anything but the lightest of light reading - the thistledown and cobwebs, in fact, of Australian literature. The Author does, however, claim that the local colour of the bush verses is correct, his know ledge of bush life having been derived from years of experience and hard work on sheep and cattle stations, and farms in Australia.In addition to some new matter the book contains many of the Author's contributions to the Sydney Bulletin (published with the consent of the proprietors of that Journal), and a few extracts from Ironbark Chips, a former book by the same Author, which was published by Messrs George Robertson Co., of Sydney, New South Wales.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
