Great Australian Shearing Stories
$23.95
Although he became an entertainer and writer instead, Swampy was always drawn to the life of Australia’s shearers. When he began collecting shearing stories for this book, he was interviewed on the ABC radio program ‘Summer All Over” and was inundated with callers from all over the country, all keen to pass on their own tales. The result is this marvellous collection that brings to life a world of outback stations, larrikins, roustabouts, sagacious dogs and occasionally strange cooks

Description
When he was a young bloke, Bill ‘Swampy’ Marsh thought that it didn’t get much better than the life of shearer: where else could you get paid to hang out with your mates, travel around Australia, enjoy a few drinks at night, tell tall stories and swear your head off! And then there was the excitement of the shearing shed: the frantic atmosphere, the smell of the wool grease, the airy heat and the panic of the sheep.
