Stella Maria Sarah Miles Franklin was born in Talbingo in central New South Wales, in 1879. Her parents belonged to the "Squattocracy" - Europeans who lived off the land because they were the only ones there, but had no land rights. Up The Country - a tale about mid-19th-century pioneer families in New South Wales based on tales handed down from her maternal grandmother. This is not only a story of the adventures of the Mazere, Poole and Brennan families; it's also the pioneer life, the challenges and benefits of community and the harshness of the environment as well as ex-convicts, gold-fossickers, picnics, dances and all the ideals of genteel society together with the raising of cattle, mining camps and all lush natural wonders of Australia. Illustrated with black and white sketches. https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/my-career-goes-bung-miles-franklin/
