The Horses Too Are Gone

Summary: Thank God wild places still exist
Review: Australian farmer Michael Keenan hits hard times on his farm in New South Wales and heads off to western Queensland with his cattle. A grand tale of life on the land, horses, cattle and people who live a life so different from our comfortable city existance. I loved this book for its earthy hardships and at one point its gripping high drama, Michaels persicution by 'the wild bunch'. A great read by a first time author that left me pleased there are still places in modern day Australia untouched by popular culture.
