General Interest about Outback stuff.....

A few weeks back there was a thread about a poem "Rain from Nowhere" (I think that was the title) which lead me to think about a series of books we have read.
Then doing the preview of the DVD from Steve and seeing the country around the Carnarvon Gorge area of Qld has stirred me on to post this.
Not sure if folks appreciate reading recommendations or not or if this would be considered as advertising (hope not) - but an Author named Michael Keenan has now got four books out with one of them "And the horses too are gone" being the one relative to this.
There is a web site so will try to put it here if there is any one interested - www.michaelkeenan.com.au

Well the details are correct but I ain't smart enough to make it a link - sorry.

Anyways the stuff he writes is real Australian experiences with his own life experiences being the subject of 2 of the 3 books we have read. The third one is pretty hair raising stuff from rugged country north of Derby. All were relating to horses & cattle and darned hard yards yacka stuff of the Aus Outback. We have yet to read the 4th one.
