It will never be known just how many men, women and children have died and lie buried in the bush. Many of the deaths were not registered, and they are known only because the local paper reported on them. It was not the selector who lost his life, but usually men who had no idea how harsh the country could be, and consequently took risks by walking between stations looking for work, most times with very little water, and not much idea of where they were going. Many of the men were suffering from alcohol related problems. Most deaths were caused by fever, accidents, suicide, and murder. The women followed their men, enduring the harsh conditions and sometimes not seeing another white woman for years. They died during child birth, usually the baby died as well. Young children succumbed to the harsh conditions, dying of convulsions, poisoning, and accidents.

There are many lonely graves and isolated cemeteries scattered throughout the North Western area of Queensland. This book represents only a small gathering of information from a cross-section of outback inhabitants. Northwest Queensland is a very hard, harsh, rugged part of Australia, which has a strange beauty about it. Rocks and Spinifex surround the hills and valleys, with wide open plains and rivers. With fast cars and wide open roads the modern traveller can be forgiven for forgetting the days of the coach routes, and bush tracks that crisscrossed the country. The lonely miners and bush men who opened up much of this beautiful country and the black men who fought to keep the white man out often died and were buried in isolation, with few records accurately kept of their burials. There were literally hundreds of graves in Northwest Queensland some are virtually non-existent after many years of weathering and neglect, almost all lost in history, time and memories. The stories of their passing will be lost if it is not recorded. With the availability of modern technology people don’t have to face the hardships of their forebears who opened up the outback of Australia, faced droughts, floods, fires and being attacked by the local indigenous tribes. Here is a short history of some of those people who travelled the West and didn’t survive. Greg Humphrey

As the country to the north of Australia was being explored and taken up by men from Victoria and New South Wales hoping to make their fortune, other men were making their way out west, also keen to make good. Sesbania was one of the earliest selections taken up by John and James Nisbett. Douglas Harper was working on Sesbania, when he shot himself, whether accidentally or purposely is unknown. He was an Overseer, and died on 12th November, 1878. This is the earliest recorded death in this book. William Russel Myers was a shearer probably working on Manuka, or making his way there. He died from exhaustion and thirst on 3rd December, 1878. George Laxton who was a blacksmith, died at Mills Creek, also from thirst and exhaustion. He was probably walking to the next job, but died on 16th February, 1879, and was buried at Mills Creek, on Manuka. These three were just the beginning of dozens of men, women and children who lost their lives through thirst, exhaustion, accident, fever and murder. This book was written to record their lives and deaths in the Winton area of western Queensland.

It is often said that dead men tell no tales but this journey to some of Australia's oldest bush pubs and the graves of settlers in outback stations and on stock routes, revives the spirit of our early pioneers.The stories of a wide range of characters from stockmen to bushrangers give an insight into everyday life in the bush and the perils and dangers that often lead to their untimely death. The legendary drinking places and the antics of the bushmen who inhabited them bring to life memories of times gone by. Bruce Simpson weaves an evocative collection of bush verse - some of it his own - throughout the narrative.

Welsh Food Stories explores more than two thousand years of history to discover the rich but forgotten heritage of Welsh foods – from oysters to cider, salted butter to salt-marsh lamb. Despite centuries of industry, ancient traditions have survived in pockets across the country among farmers, bakers, fisherfolk, brewers and growers who are taking Welsh food back to its roots, and trailblazing truly sustainable foods as they do so. In this important book, author Carwyn Graves travels Wales to uncover the country’s traditional foods and meet the people making them today. There are the owners of a local Carmarthenshire chip shop who never forget a customer, the couple behind Anglesey’s world-renowned salt company Halen Môn, and everyone else in between – all of them have unique and compelling stories to tell about how they contribute to the past, present and future of Welsh food. This is an evocative and insightful exploration of an often overlooked national cuisine, shining a spotlight on the importance – environmentally and socially – of keeping local food production alive.

Visiting Melbourne cemeteries, 'Grave Tales: Melbourne Vol. 1' tells the stories of everyday people who willingly or unwillingly, were participants in events that made local and national headlines. They may have lived in the same suburbs, streets, and even the same houses as exist now in towns and cities along the way, and finished their days in cemeteries in Melbourne. These are tales of early settlement, unsolved murders, love lost, mystery, tragedy, health epidemics, scandal and sacrifice. 'Grave Tales' reveals more than the headstone can ever convey by tracing the tumultuous journeys that lead to these final resting places. This is number seven in the awarded and popular 'Grave Tales' series.
