Publishers Description: Where explorers and settlers went in Australia, the railways followed. Small towns were linked like beads on a string by the railway: it was the way these communities stayed alive. The railways had trheir own mystery and their own language, and of course their own stories and yarns. With his passion for times past and his famous ear for a good yarn, Bill Swampy Marsh has compiled stories from the men and women who worked on the railways, creating a collection of adventures that tell (in authentic voice) the dramatic, moving and hilarious stories from the Australian railways. Author is an award-winning writer and performer of stories, songs and plays. His previous titles include Great Australian Shearing Stories and Great Australian Droving Stories.
