oe Wilson and His Mates
By Henry Lawson
Narrated by Amy Soakes and Denis Daly
This collection was published in 1901 and contains some of Lawson's best known stories.
Most of the stories are set in the Australian bush, and feature many of Lawson's iconic characters, like squatters, swagmen and struggling selector farmers. A persistent theme is the harshness of rural life and the inevitablity of personal tragedy.
