'All the incidents in John Henry are true, although names and places have been changed.  Cameron Tully has blended the tales he heard as a child into a re-creation of the spirit of the Australian outback, with all the qualities of the best bush yarns; tenderness and brutality, joy and sadness, dignity and depravity and the darker side of life lightened by melodrama and outrageous humour.'
