Description:
A heartfelt collection of bush poetry by W.J. Bendall, this slim self-published volume captures the rhythm, humour, and hardship of life in Western New South Wales. Likely issued in the 1980s, Bush Ballads reflects a strong connection to land, people, and rural identity, told in a proudly regional voice.

From dusty tracks and campfire yarns to poignant reflections on isolation and mateship, Bendall’s verse follows in the tradition of Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson — with a distinctly local flavour.

Why You’ll Love It:
Whether you're from the bush or simply love reading about it, Bush Ballads is a celebration of rural storytelling and regional pride. A great gift for lovers of outback literature, collectors of Australian verse, or anyone with roots in Western NSW.
