Great Australian Shearing Stories: Bill 'Swampy' Marsh

The shearer, so much a part of the Australian economy when the country lived on the sheep's back, is beginning to vanish into myth and legend. Marsh began collecting shearing stories several years ago and when he was interviewed on ABC radio, he was inundated with callers from all over Australia ken to pass o their own tales. The result is a collection that brings to life the world of outback stations, larrikins, roustabouts, dogs and occasionally strange cooks.
