Songs of the Plains: The River and the Road brings together the poetry of Frances Humphris Brown, originally published in Songs of the Plains (1934), in a lovingly compiled and illustrated edition by W.J. Cameron. Rooted in the landscapes of New South Wales' Western Division, Brown’s poems evoke the vastness, solitude, and beauty of outback life. With maps and expressive line drawings, this edition serves as both a tribute to the pioneering spirit and a lyrical portrait of the Australian bush.

Perfect for lovers of bush poetry, Australian frontier life, and regional literary history, this rare volume captures the essence of outback NSW through verse and visual storytelling. A reflective and enduring work of literary Australiana.
