The Shanty on the Rise, John Barr , series - author column

A weekly page first published in the World's News in 1935, John Barr's 'The Shanty on the Rise,' provides insight into the life of people from the bush. In previewing the series the Adelaide News records:

'When they leave their herds of sheep and bullock teams and their ploughs and pea-paddocks and adjourn to Hogan's pub to drink and speak of all that is in their hearts - you're likely to hear something. Well, they do. And John Barr, well-known writer of Australian bush life, is their reporter. In verse and prose, with bright touches and a strong realistic atmosphere, he tells of their doings at the shanty on the rise' (27 August 1935, p.4).

Each instalment typically included several illustrations, and varying combinations of poetry, jokes and anecdotes (both fiction and non-fiction).

The last known instalment in the series was published in the 29 June 1940 issue of The World's News.
Note: The first issue of The Shanty on the Rise was published in the 28 August 1935 edition of The World's News. No copy of this issue is currently available. The above link will access the second instalment, published on 4 September 1935.
