| Summary: | Marauding bushrangers, lost exploerers, mad shepherds, new chums and mounted troopers: these are some of the characters who populate the often perilous world of colonial Australian adventure fiction. Squatters defend their hard eanred properties from attack, while floods and other natural disasters threaten to wipe any trace of settlement away.

But these journeys are invariably fraught with danger, and everything comes at a price. |
