![]() Here is a real story of the real Australia, lonely but lovely it is told in faultless style and with real genius, her characters grow under her pen into personalities and have become familiar types to all Australians. The presence of a white woman in such surroundings is unusual, and the author is at first unwelcome amongst the stockmen, but she by her gallant spirit wings her way to their respect, soon to be affectionately termed ‘The Little Missus’. ‘The Little Missus’, newly married, accompanies her husband, ‘The Maluka’, to his life work, the management of a great cattle station of one and a quarter million acres, ‘The Elsey’, which is three hundred miles distant from the nearest township. This book, We of the Never-Never, is great because into it a woman has written the story of her heart, its greatness is in its sincerity. ![]()
