Great Australian Droving Stories: Bill 'Swampy' Marsh

Before utes, trucks, road trains, planes and helicopters, drovers moved stock over the vast Australian distances. It was a life often isolated and difficult, but also filled with adventure and wry humour. Drovers, ringers, duffers and scoundrels: a hard bunch of white, black, half-caste and mixed race folk who knew all the tricks of the trade. Marsh collected these stories in his outback travels and the tales are told in the authentic voices of the men and women who lived the life.
