On the Track by Henry Lawson
"On the Track" by Henry Lawson is a collection of short stories published in 1900. This volume gathers nineteen tales of Australian bush life, featuring colorful characters like swagmen, bushmen, and the memorable "Bill, the Ventriloquial Rooster." Lawson's sketches capture the raw, unvarnished reality of the outback, depicting the struggles and encounters of ordinary people navigating the harsh Australian landscape. The collection showcases both Lawson's celebrated descriptive power and his unflinching focus
on the grittier aspects of frontier existence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
