John O'Brien
This pioneer poet-priest (Monsignor Patrick Hartigan) of the early ninteen hundreds, captures vividly the characters and culture of early Australia. Characters to be found in Said Hanrahan and Cooney's Daughter are still with us for while customs might change
human nature does not and John O'Brien is a master of character portrayal.

Bruce Simpson
For Drovers who experienced this Australian way of life these poems of Bruce Simpson will provide rich memories of humour and pathos. Bruce does thirteen introductions but his eyesight no longer allows him to read his works so this privilege has gone to Noel.
For most of us who never experienced droving life Bruce will give us an insight into this significant pioneer occupation that is no longer with us.
