“Australians of vastly varying types are the subjects of Tales of the Big Country.  Their stories are all part of a colourful picture which gives an unusual view of Australia and its people.  Some are independents and individualists, like the old Hawkesbury fishermen, the horsebreakers of the Outback, and the men and women who live in isolation in the far north of Queensland.  In telling their stories, Keith Willey gives some vivid glimpses into the history and background of their locations.”
