N ovels "Probably no swagman, in life or in fiction, ever had such a strange companion on his wanderings as has Macauley, the central character in D'Arcy Niland's first novel, who tramps through the back towns of New South Wales accompanied by his daughter Buster. Buster, four-year-old bundle of loyalty and fortitude, combines these more adult qualities with a natural childishness, and the result is a character creation of almost startling conviction. Buster is no joy to Macauley, he treats her with an uncompromising firmness: she must go on walking when she is nearly exhausted, must stop chattering when he wants to be quiet, must not complain. But Macauley has, too, a certain grudging affection for her, and this affection develops until it is so threatened by circumstances that it must at last be openly admitted.

Extractions: The book is organised into half day and day trips, starting from Circular Quay,"The Open Door", and moving on to visit the early-settled parts of the city. Parts of the history of each area are sketched and compared with the rapidly-changing reality of the moment. Important buildings, roads and bridges, parks and gardens, monuments and landmarks (past and present) are put into the context of the times along with a parade of heroes and villains, men on the make, movers and shakers, builders and dreamers This is the story of a young man who conceived the ambition to become a world champion and set up his struggling family for life. His ability was seldom fully extended as he overwhelmed all opposition in Australia. Cursed by the shadow of the Great War, he fell foul of the authorities during the bitterly divisive conscription debate. The wrath of powerful men followed him in the United States. There, with his dream within reach, he met an opponent he could not master.

Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar Peter Fitzsimons had just finished this little number when we heard him speak at the SWF. He asked if there was anyone in the audience who didn't know who Les Darcy was. I had no idea!! Probably because I was the youngest person in the room and Darcy was famous during the WWI years. Boy, did I feel ignorant - this sporting hero was more famous pre 1950s than Sir Don himself. This is the story of one of our most famous sons - it is the quintessential Aussie battler story. Fitzsimon's writing style is like you're sitting with him in a great little country pub having a grand old yarn - he's really hit the nail on the head penning this one (see I can do this kind of writing too!). Les Darcy was born in country NSW and quickly became one of the best boxers in the world - the smiling boxer, full of good humour and a great character. The eldest of 11 kids, with a drunk of a father and a worn-out mum, Les took it on himself to support them with his boxing. With the outbreak of WWI the pressure was on Darcy from all sides to join up - the only problem was he saw his mates coming home in coffins and thought twice before that kind of end for himself. He wanted to set his family up for life before a bullet took him. Your heart will be torn reading about Les's short-lived troubled life - two noble causes clashing, and a young kid caught in the middle. Author D'arcy Niland put his finger on it:

Extractions: Ruth Park was born in Auckland, New Zealand, the daughter of a pioneering bridge builder and road maker, whose work took his family into the wild territory of North Auckland and the King Country. As a result she had a singular early childhood, growing up as 'a forest creature', familiar with the New Zealand bush rather than with the products of civilisation or with children of her own age. Books were largely absent, the family possessing two which she was not allowed to read. The school that she subsequently attended in the small town of Te Kuiti boasted a library of eight books held behind a glass door. Nevertheless, she was a fluent reader of newspapers, public signs and other miscellaneous forms of print. In A Fence around the Cuckoo (1992) she emphasises the most important aspects of this early experience for her development as a writer: 'a solitary childhood; an introspective, often numinous landscape; people very close to their ancestral roots and showing it on their faces and in their idiom and manner of thought' (pp. 39-40).
