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 their own mystery and their own language, and of course their own stories and yarns.But before all the old stories and the humour vanish in a cloud of steam, Bill Swampy Marsh, whose mother was a ganger’s daughter, has brought together another enthralling collection of first hand accounts, of tales from the tracks and the railway sidings, from the engines and the guard boxes, the pubs and the carriages.So vivid is this collection that you ll feel as though you are riding along with Swampy and his larrikin spirited railroad pioneers, feeling the rhythm of a train, smelling the coal and blinking a cinder or three from your eye as you travel deeper into Australia's wonderful and extraordinary past.Poignant, inspiring, tragic and often downright hilarious, your travelling companions in Great Australian Railway Stories range from train drivers, gangers, fettlers, guards, firemen, publicans, a mysterious traveller called Brer Rabbit, the one legged corpse, the old driver who cooks his breakfast in the firebox ...Just as he did in Great Flying Doctors Stories, Great Australian Shearing Stories and Great Australian Droving Stories, Bill Swampy Marsh helps us remember who and what we were as a nation on this journey you’ll never forget!We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
