Marking the Land : A Collection of Australian Bush Wisdom and Humour
Author(s): Brian Dibble and Jim Evans (eds)
There is much wisdon and many a laugh to be found in this delightful collection of Australian sayings. The play of humour, practical good sense and irony locates them unmistakably in this country, and in the particular habits of people in the bush.
