About

THE CENTENARY EDITION OF THIS AUSTRALIAN CLASSIC

In 1902, newly married Jeannie Gunn (Mrs Aeneas Gunn) left the security and comfort of her Melbourne home to travel to the depths of the Northern Territory, where her husband had been appointed manager of 'The Elsey', a large cattle station.
She had an unerring ear and eye for the sounds and sights of the country; and this is the moving and simple account of her life amidst the beauty and cruelty of the land, and the isolation and loneliness - together with the comradeship and kindness of those around her.
