Great Australian stories: outback towns and pubs. Bill ‘Swampy’ Marsh. 2009.

The people you’ll meet will touch your heart as Swampy brings to life all the drama and delight of life in outback Australia. There’s the story of Frederick Aloysius Millard, the only dog ever to become a member of a Citizens Club in Australia, thanks to the vote of a woman who was sure she’d been introduced to this ‘eccentric’ man twenty years back; the man who refused to go to the doctor after being shot, because he’d been hit in a very unfortunate spot……which made it obvious he’d been running away; the hapless bloke who tried to blow a snake out of the Sunny but ended up nearly taking himself out of existence…..if there’s a good story out there, Swampy’s captured it for this book.
