DOWNLOAD EBOOK →“Around the Boree Log and Other Verses” is a wonderful collection of poems by Australian Poet Patrick Hartigan. This work celebrates the lives and mores of the outback pastoral folk that the author ministered when he was a peripatetic curate to the southern New South Wales and Riverina towns of Thurgoona, Berrigan and Narrandera. Patrick Joseph Hartigan (1878 – 1952) was an Australian Poet and pastor. He was most famous for his poems of the Australian bush, which were an instant success and enjoyed popularity as far abroad as Ireland and the United States. Contents include: “Around the Boree Log”, “Calling to Me”, “The Little Irish Monster”, “One by One”, “Ten Little Steps and Stairs”, “The Trimmin’s on the Rosary”, “The Birds Will Sing Again”, “The Old Bush School”, “Six Brown Boxer hats”, “The Libel”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →‘Flannery has done us a service first by reissuing the story of a fascinating adventure from 200 years ago, and then by setting these events in perspective with his lucid introduction.’ Canberra Times ‘At 2.00 pm on Sunday, 6 July 1835, a giant of a man shambled into the camp left by John Batman at Indented Head near Geelong...’ In 1803 the convict William Buckley, a former soldier, escaped from the first official settlement in Victoria, near Sorrento on Port Phillip Bay. For three decades the ‘wild white man’ lived with Aborigines around the bay, before giving himself up in 1835. First published in 1852, The Life and Adventures of William Buckley is the ultimate survival story of early Australia and provides an extraordinary insight into pre-contact indigenous society. Tim Flannery has published over thirty books, including the award-winning The Future Eaters, The Weather Makers and Here on Earth and the novel The Mystery of the Venus Island Fetish. In 2005 he was named Australian Humanist of the Year and in 2007 Australian of the Year. In 2007 he co-founded and was appointed Chair of the Copenhagen Climate Council. In 2011 he became Australia’s Chief Climate Commissioner, and in 2013 he founded the Australian Climate Council. ‘This account, in Buckley’s words...has all the elements of a Boy’s Own yarn: convicts, savages, privations, wars, cannibalism, survival, treachery and the founding of a colony.’ Herald Sun
