Description:
Still Bleating About the Bush is a spirited collection of outback stories from celebrated bush writer Marie Mahood. Compiling material from her earlier works Bleating About the Bush and Back at Sundown, along with previously unpublished pieces, this volume offers a lively, humorous, and deeply affectionate portrait of life in remote Australia.

With a blend of fictionalised anecdotes, bush yarns, and vivid recollections, Mahood captures the grit, resilience, and warmth of life on cattle stations and in isolated communities. Her sharp wit and deep connection to the land shine through each story.

Why You’ll Love It:
For lovers of Australian outback storytelling, this collection delivers both laughter and insight. It’s a down-to-earth, endearing look at country life, written with a voice that's unmistakably honest and authentically rural.
