Publisher's Summary
Full of unforgettable characters and humour, this is the original edition of On Our Selection as it was first written. These are Steele Rudd's immensely popular stories about the selection on the Darling Downs in Queensland where Dad, Mother, Dave, and the rest of the family nearly starve, and eventually prosper. Rudd meant them as a tribute to small selectors like his own family.
Steele Rudd is considered one of Australia's best humorists, but he is also a deep and sympathetic observer of pioneering life, in which humour was as essential as flour.

Great Australian Story
Enjoyable stories of the life of a rural family in Australia. I don't know if anything ever went right for the poor family!

Early Australiana - Hilarious Tales
A treasury of early Australian family life on the farm. These tales illustrate how humour was an essential tonic for the tough life of the early settler. A life so foreign to todays urban dwellers.
