Nuet Livingstone took great delight in entertaining travelers in the bar of the Ironclad Hotel in the tiny gold mining town of Marble Bar. Marble Bar was renowned as the hottest place in Australia and in the bar of the local was the coolest place one could quench their thirst. Nuet's favorite trick was to eat a green frog. Then for an encore eat three or four cockroaches.Entertainment was self-made in the past before television reached the outback. Roads were mainly dirt tracks and when travelers reached a small settlement they would gather at the local hotel. Have a few drinks and yarn with the locals. Storytelling, news and gossip were all by word of mouth. An art now nearly forgotten. Larrikins like Neut were a dime a dozen and in most paces there would always be one who loved playing tricks on the unwary. It was a talking point to pass on at a meeting or gathering whether it be with friends or strangers. A good yarn broke the ice and then one could indulge in the art of communication. This art now near non-existent.Outback roads are now long stretches of bitumen and cars zoom along at a great rate. A time gone past these roads were dirt and you never drove past if anyone was stopped on the road. You always pulled over to inquire if they were OK. Many a traveller had perished in the past. It was sort of an unwritten law to check on fellow travellers. Not so now.The old-timers who once travelled these roads are now gone as well as their stories with it. In this book, I've gathered up some of those stories as well as my own experiences to let the next generation know of the life that we once lived. We all took it in our stride and made do. I don't think any of us made great fortunes but we were all richer for our experiences, in heart and mind.

A collection of the funniest yarns and most colourful characters from the bestselling 'Great Australian Stories' series from beloved storyteller Bill 'Swampy' Marsh. When he'd finished playing, a solemn silence fell as Brian and the gravediggers stared down into that three-quarter-filled hole. 'I must apologise,' Brian said to the two men, 'this's the first time I've played at a pauper's funeral, and I'm a bit emotional.' 'Well,' said one of the diggers, sniffling back the tears, 'it's the first time we've ever had a piper play at one of our septic tank installations.' The Australian Outback can be harsh, but it's the kind of place where you either learn to laugh off your troubles or fold under the pressure. Bill 'Swampy' Marsh has a deep affection and respect for people living in the Australian Bush, and he's spent more than twenty years travelling to every corner of our wide brown land, talking to people from all walks of life, collecting their memories and stories. Great Australian Outback Yarns captures the funniest tales from Swampy's many books in one volume. The colourful characters in these pages are full of generosity, humour and a larrikin Aussie spirit.

This is the hilarious account of a young man growing up in the outback in the 1950sBob Flatt brings to life many of his hair-raising adventures and the characters he met along the way. It tells of a world before technology took over, when each cattle station was its own self-contained community, drovers still roamed the land and the spirit of mateship was a matter of life and death.

A collection of the funniest yarns and most colourful characters from the bestselling 'Great Australian Stories' series from beloved storyteller Bill 'Swampy' Marsh. The term 'Bible bashing' took on new meaning in our household. Not so much for its reading, though God certainly remained high on Mum's spiritual priorities, but more for its treatment of bunions, chilblains, corns, etc. Mum suffered from bunions until she started bashing them with the heavy family Bible, believing the Lord's weight behind the Lord's word could move anything from mountains to bunions. Bill 'Swampy' Marsh has spent more than twenty years travelling to every corner of Australia, talking to people from all walks of life, collecting their wild, wonderful and whacky stories More Great Australian Outback Yarns includes many of the most memorable tales from Swampy's collections. The colourful characters in these pages capture the generosity, humour and laconic quality that bring to life the heart and soul of outback Australia.

Imagine seeing the beauty of an outback sunrise or sunset, native desert animals doing what they do: scaring the hell out of you! While you are reading the yarns I have lived. The desert and the traditional Aboriginal people who live there won my respect and heart. The native animals were delightful to observe in their natural habitat. My favourites are the wedge tail eagles, who fly majestically in the sky, and the emus. The emu has it down pat! The female lays the eggs, and the male takes over from there with the incubating and raising the chicks. Have fun reading my yarns.

This book of bush tales vividly evokes an era now gone, when people struggled in isolation to tame the land and when camaraderie and mateship were everything. Young Brian Taylor was a ringer on Queensland cattle stations some fifty-five years ago. He worked on huge properties where the big mobs used to run and many of the people he met there had a larger-than-life quality. There was Dangerous Dan Smith, a hard, self-reliant man who wrote bush poetry; Father Peter, a gentle parish priest and occasional hero; and Charlie Gibson, an aboriginal stockman utterly at home in his own country. And then there was the landscape – the plains and rivers and mountains – that shaped the lives of them all. The Moonlight Stallion is Brian Taylor's second collection of reminiscences about a vanishing way of life in outback Australia – about people, wild and working animals, and country. Readers of The Brumby Mare have been clamouring for more and new readers, whether from the bush or the city, will be moved to laughter and to tears by these heartfelt stories. A quintessential Australian bushman, Brian Taylor has spent most of his life on the land. Working as a drover, a stockman, a fencer, a shearer and a saddler, he has gathered a lifetime of stories over the years as he travelled way out past the Barcoo, along dusty plains and beside dry creek beds under the endless southern sky. Also available, together with The Brumby Mare, as the single volume A Swag Of Memories: Australian Bush Stories.
