Chapter 1 A beginning for Linda. Please note I do not own the copyright for this book and I make no money from this exercise. These are very old stories from 1940s, very unPC but good yarns and incredibly evocative of Australia’s outback life. If you are offended by the attitudes about indigenous people of the 1940s please DO NOT READ. BTW Arthur Upfield was incredibly important in challenging the racial mores of the day. And his hero is indigenous, radical for its time.
