Rio Grandes Last Race, and Other Verses (Unabridged)

Summary

In the untamed wilderness of the Australian outback, where the sun beats down relentlessly and the land stretches out endlessly, Andrew Barton Paterson's "Rio Grande's Last Race, and Other Verses" paints a vivid tapestry of life in the saddle. With his signature wit and keen eye for detail, Paterson captures the spirit of the bushmen, their triumphs, and their heartbreaks. From the thrill of the racecourse to the solitude of the open range, these verses evoke the raw beauty and indomitable spirit of the Australian frontier.
