AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'About fifty years ago, Ion Idriess wrote a book about cattle and the wide open spaces of the outback. He called it Cattle Camp. It was fiction. In 1994, Herb Wharton wrote a book in a similar vein. He called it Cattle Camp; but there is no fiction here. Rather, it is a book about the real world of drovers and their cattle. The tales of these Aboriginal stockmen and stockwomen are sometimes sad and sometimes humorous, but always entertaining. For instance, it is a little-known fact that the only Japanese prisoner-of-war taken on Australian soil was, in fact, taken by an unarmed Aborigine!' (Introduction)
