About this listen

 Immerse yourself in a captivating tale from the beloved Australian bush poet Banjo Paterson. While he’s celebrated for his poetry, his warm and humorous novels about life in Australia are equally enchanting. An Outback Marriage follows a young Englishman on a journey through the colonies, where he discovers far more than he anticipated while searching for an heir to a fortune. This story unfolds not just one, but several marriages, vividly portraying the diverse fabric of colonial society—from the squattocracy to cattle rustlers. With unmatched skill, Paterson brings to life the heart and soul of early Australia, showcasing its breathtaking landscapes, unpredictable weather, and the earthy humor that defined survival in this rugged land.
