Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a boy, David Cox lived in the dusty outback on a sheep station. His lessons came in a brown envelope from the Correspondence School, but out of doors his father was his teacher. David learned the stockman's skills of riding horses and mustering sheep and cattle, and when they were out riding his father would tell stories about old times. Sometimes they would repair stockyards or fences, and when the job was done his father would step back and say, 'Well, it's good enough for a sheep station.' David Cox concludes the moving story of his country childhood that began with The Road to Goonong and continued with The Fair Dinkum War. 'I have always loved David Cox's work. Every opening is full of action and humour ... In good times and bad the warmth and love of the family shine through' Magpies 'Charming and touching...What a lovely way for children to learn about life in the outback a long time ago.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Catholic cop tracks an IRA master bomber amidst the sectarian violence of the conflict in Northern Ireland in this pulse-pounding thriller from The New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author Adrian McKinty. “McKinty’s writing is dark and witty with gritty realism, spot-on dialogue, and fascinating characters.” —The Chicago Sun-Times It's the early 1980s in Belfast. Sean Duffy, a conflicted Catholic cop in the Protestant RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary), is recruited by MI5 to hunt down Dermot McCann, an IRA master bomber who has made a daring escape from the notorious Maze prison.

Sean knows that if he can crack the "locked-room mystery," the bigger mystery of Dermot's whereabouts might be revealed to him as a reward. Meanwhile the clock is ticking down to the Conservative Party conference in Brighton in 1984, where Mrs. Thatcher is due to give a keynote speech...

Book excerpt: From one of Granta’s Best Young British Novelists, a stunningly insightful, emotionally powerful new novel about an outsider haunted by an inescapable past: a story of loneliness and survival, guilt and loss, and the power of forgiveness. Jake Whyte is living on her own in an old farmhouse on a craggy British island, a place of ceaseless rain and battering wind. Her disobedient collie, Dog, and a flock of sheep are her sole companions, which is how she wants it to be. But every few nights something—or someone—picks off one of the sheep and sounds a new deep pulse of terror. There are foxes in the woods, a strange boy and a strange man, and rumors of an obscure, formidable beast. And there is also Jake’s past, hidden thousands of miles away and years ago, held in the silences about her family and the scars that stripe her back—a past that threatens to break into the present. With exceptional artistry and empathy, All the Birds, Singing reveals an isolated life in all its struggles and stubborn hopes, unexpected beauty, and hard-won redemption. This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.

Download or read book North West Expedition written by Alex Forrest and published by . This book was released on 1880 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander Forrest, who served under his brother, John, on several expeditions, did his most memorable exploratory work in the north-west, especially on this 1879 expedition he led from the De Grey River to the Telegraph Line and Port Darwin. The eight-month expedition followed the Fitzroy River to the King Leopold Range. Finding this mountain range impenetrable they skirted around it to discover and name the Nicholson Plains, and later the Ord River. After reaching the Victoria River and the Telegraph Line, the party then struck out for Port Darwin. This was one of the most important expeditions undertaken in the north-west of the continent and was of considerable importance in opening up the interior. Forrests Journal is unusallyattractive for a government-printed expedition account, and is illustrated with early Perthprinted lithographs after sketches by Henry Charles Prinsep. Prinsep (1844-1922), who had studied art under George Frederick Watts in London, and later in Heidleberg and Dresden, as well as studying law at Oxford, emigrated to the Swan River Colony in 1866. He joined the Lands and Surveys Department as a draughtsman, later becoming head of the Mines Department and chief protector of the Aborigines. He was commissioned by the Lands Department to illustrate both Forrests Journal and Giless Australia Twice Traversed, published in 1889. Interesting though misleading is the credit Prinsep received in the introduction to Giless work, where he is named as Mr. Val Prinsep of Perth. Valentine (Val) Prinsep was Henrys more famous artist cousin, but was based in London.
