Collected Australian Stories is a visit into the Australian mind and the various facets of this ancient land. The impressive culture of the Aborigines, the original inhabitants of the land is brought to life in such stories as The Challenge and The Stone Country. Other stories such as The Wejii Man examine deeper cultural beliefs. The more recent history of Australia is also explored through such stories as Lost Souls, a story of hope and despair in the convict Australia of the early 19th century as well as the haunting and ghostly story of The Light Keeper’s Wife. The unique Australian humour, (which will bring more than a smile to the face of the reader) is visited in several of the stories, including The Bunyip Hunters and The Day the Railway Came To Bumbaldry. The Australian mosaic of the 30 fictional and entertaining stories included in this volume will allow the reader to discover how the people and the land merge in the eyes and the creative imagination of an Australian story teller…
