This book is just chockers of tales told in rhyme, of bushmen and brumbies and seasons in time, of drovers and breakers who work this vast land, finding the rhythm that few understand; tales of excitement and tales of awe, tributes that include our Walers of war. Days of now and days of back then all unfold in the stroke of a pen.

This poetry book contains tales of the bush, expresses a love of horses and the characters who ride them.
