The word "amazon" generally conjures up images of wild and powerful warrior women, fighting off foes in some primitive matriarchal society where they rule over men who have been subverted to more menial roles. Outback Women's Stories is a compilation of significant Australian women of simple but important character traits - strength, fortitude and courage. Australia has grown from penal colony to modern nation and important player on the global stage, and during this period there have been any number of women who have courageously taken on the multifarious and sometimes death-defying challenges the Aussie outback has thrown at them, often alongside the men they loved with gaggles of children in tow. These women have faced their trials admirably, with rarely a word of complaint, and continue to do so to this day - they are our "Aussie Amazons".

Twenty women share their incredible stories of surviving and thriving in the remote Australian 'Gulf Country', near the Gulf of Carpentaria. Gulf women are self-sufficient, generous, and can cope with almost anything that life and the environment throws at them: floods, drought, sickness, emergencies. Whether they are graziers, fisherwomen, ringers, women in tourism, aviation and education, Indigenous women or descendants from early women settlers, this powerful book gives these women a voice to tell their own stories. There are stories of new mothers on properties isolated and inaccessible for months in the wet season; women giving birth at home with only neighbours to assist; reminiscences from last century and World War II, and accounts of fishing in the Gulf in sometimes unimaginable conditions. From the kids wanting a baby croc for a pet to the terror of a snake bite with a flooded airstrip and impassable roads, these women treat the extraordinary events in their lives as just part of their remote way of life. Set in a world of vast landscapes, distance and merciless climate, Beyond the Outback contains riveting tales of the lives of the women who live, work and raise families in one of Australia's most isolated regions. It will be loved by readers of Sara Henderson, Toni Tapp Coutts and Terry Underwood.

Drought, flood, harrowing isolation and horrific accidents. . . the Australian outback is no place for a lady. But the women of the Outback are a different breed: tough, resilient and endlessly resourceful. They're both the backbone and the heart of Australia, keeping their farms going, their families together and their communities alive - and often against overwhelming odds. Maree was left with three small daughters when her husband and young son were killed in a light plane crash. Molly lived alone in a 1920s homestead in the middle of the Simpson Desert for twenty years without even a phone. Alice admits she couldn't tell a cow from a bull when she first went to live in the Outback. This book tells the inspiring stories of fourteen remarkable women, from high-achievers to everyday heroes. Their tales are often heart-rending and regularly touched by tragedy, but are always life-affirming. They portray Outback Australian women as they really are - and as we all wish we might be.

An Outback Life is a story of a woman who spent the prime of her life in the wilds of Australia's Northern Territory, when it really was an untamed frontier. In this earthy tale of love, hope, loss, and survival, Mary Groves describes the sometimes heart-breaking loneliness, the hard work and the rises and falls in her family's fortunes as they battle to survive in Australia's Top End. Mary was the key, hands-on person in the business's she shared with her husband, Joe, learning mostly out of necessity to operate helicopters, cattle trucks and anything else it took to grow their very successful family business. During the process of surviving the many, almost insurmountable, obstacles presented along the way, she has collected an abundance of interesting stories involving, Australian and NT Pastoral history, Racing, Rodeo, Droving, Aviation, Spirituality and Aboriginal history.By this first time author, Mary's promise to her mother originally instigated this book as a historical record, but Mary is also keen to have it used as a survival handbook for future generations.In the tradition of 'From Strength to Strength' by Sara Henderson and 'We of the Never-Never' by Mrs Aeneas Gunn, this lively historical/ autobiography tells an earthy tale of love, hope, loss and dogged determination to survive in the outback in simple, straightforward language – and often the vernacular- of the people it is set among. Set in Australia's last frontier, this Memoir would probably be best described, as a real Australian historical adventure of survival at all costs. The narrative zips along at a lively pace, and features one cracking yarn after another. In addition to telling her own and her family's story across the decades, Mary includes descriptions of many long-lost bush skills and natural phenomena in the hope that the book may serve as a kind of 'survival handbook'.Due to its exotic appeal, along with its parallels to America's Wild West, An Outback Life will appeal to male and female readers - males, because of its adventure subject matter, and females, because the story is told by a woman and unfolds in a time and place where your gender usually dictated the course of one's life. An Outback Life will appeal to readers of the following titles:•The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough•From Strength to Strength by Sara Henderson•No Place for a Woman by Maise Young•We of the Never-Never by Mrs Aeneas Gunn•Kings in Grass Castles by Mary Durack.An Outback Life was first published in Australia in May 2011 and 2012 by Allen & Unwin- The author is now keen to accommodate the overseas interest shown.

Inspiring true-life stories of women who've grown up connected with the country or who've fallen in love with it or with the men working it.

The author has woven together the extraordinary true stories of eight inspiring women from remote parts of Australia - whether that be the bush, the mountains or the outback.

After a century of speculation by writers, filmmakers, travelers and scholars, being Australian' has become a recognisable shorthand for a group of national characteristics. Now, in an era of international terrorism, being seen as un-Australian' has become a potent rhetorical weapon for some, and a badge of honour for others. Catriona Elder explores the origins, meaning and effects of the many stories we tell about ourselves, and how they have changed over time. She outlines some of the traditional stories and their role in Australian nationalism, and she shows how concepts of egalitarianism, peaceful settlement and sporting prowess have been used to create a national identity. Elder also investigates the cultural and social perspectives that have been used to critique dominant accounts of Australian identity, including ideas of class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity and race. She shows how these critiques have been, in turn, queried in recent years. Being Australian is an ideal introduction to studying Australia for anyone interested in understanding Australian society, culture and history. A clever work: incisive and original. At a time when Australian identities have never been more debated, Elder finds an open way through the closed doors which often restrict cultural representations of Australian-ness.' Professor Adam Shoemaker, Dean of Arts, ANU This is a timely and significant new analysis essential reading on issues of identity and our own anxieties about national belonging and what it means to be Australian' in a globalising world.' Kate Darian-Smith, Professor of Australian Studies and History, University of Melbourne
