We Of The Never Never And The Little Black Princess by Mrs Aeneas Gunn
A warm, semi-autobiographical account of life on a remote Northern Territory cattle station at the turn of the 20th century, portraying the daily hardships, humor and camaraderie of settlers and stockmen and the author's close, sometimes complicated, relationships with local Aboriginal people. Alongside lively sketches of station work, characters and the unforgiving yet beautiful landscape, the book includes a tender, child-focused tale of a young Indigenous girl whose charm and resilience illuminate cross-cultural friendship and the trials of frontier life. The stories blend affectionate anecdote, vivid description and gentle social observation to celebrate endurance, community and the stark, haunting Australian bush.
