Great Australian Outback Teaching Stories


Book Description

From beyond the black stump to the Australian Alps; in schools on stations, missions, mines and over the air, it takes a special kind of person to be an outback teacher. Back then, not only did we have to teach the three Rs but also sewing, arts and craft, music, physical education - you name it. Plus there were the duties of gardener, cleaner, nurse, registrar, office administrator, free milk dispenser, librarian and, on occasions, school bus driver. Oh, and in one school I was even responsible for 'mother craft'. And being male and just nineteen, as I was at the time, you might imagine my surprise when a young girl asked me, 'Sir, what's the best milk for babies?' Master storyteller Bill 'Swampy' Marsh has travelled the width and breadth of Australia to bring together yet another memorable collection of stories. This time he has met with many of our extraordinary outback teachers and their students whose recollections so perfectly capture those special days of growing up in the bush.

Born Tying Knots


Book Description

"What happens in the world? The world's not made up of things, and names aren't things either, and the mystery is, how do events and names cross paths and marry? Howard Norman's naming poems step out of the dreamtime, the time of creation, when everything spoke to each other. They are each a glimpse into the teachings of the old timers, the old original Way. I love them because they make me laugh, they are what really happens in the world"--Gary Snyder (Back cover).
