From backblocks pubs to drought-scarred homesteads, these linked tales follow swagmen, shearers, station hands, and the women who keep the pots boiling. With dry wit and sudden pathos, they face loneliness, mateship, bad luck, and small mercies, revealing a continent’s hard beauty—and the stubborn heart it forges along the sliprails.
