“This racy narrative recalls life in the Victorian countryside and on cattle and sheep stations in Queensland in the first half of this century.  It begins with a sparkling account of the author’s county childhood then goes on to relate his life as a jackaroo in the “fascinating and terrifying” country which, he learnt to love.  IT was a life of men and horses, cattle, sheep, and dogs, in the great wild land with all its challenges and rewards.”
