The Moonlight Stallion

Electronic book text

And other yarns from the Australian outback

Young Brian Taylor was a ringer on Queensland cattle stations some fifty-five years ago. He worked on huge properties where the big mobs used to run and many of the people he met there had a larger-than-life quality. There was Dangerous Dan Smith, a hard, self-reliant man who wrote bush poetry; Father Peter, a gentle parish priest and occasional hero; and Charlie Gibson, an aboriginal stockman utterly at home in his own country. And then there was the landscape the plains and rivers and mountains that shaped the lives of them all.

THE MOONLIGHT STALLION is Brian Taylor s second collection of reminiscences about a vanishing way of life in outback Australia about people, wild and working animals, and country. Readers of THE BRUMBY MARE have been clamouring for more and new readers, whether from the bush or the city, and will be moved to laughter and to tears by these heartfelt stories.

Also available, together with THE BRUMBY MARE as A SWAG OF MEMORIES.
