Thirty Years in Wilderness Wood
Keen to avoid a comfortable middle-aged existence, forester Chris Yarrow and his wife Anne dreamed of a countryside venture where they could be their own boss and create their own destiny.

Our Woodland Friends
Beryl E. Organ, born in Bristol in 1928, has been devoted to animals and flowers all her life. For many years she ran a modelling agency. In later life she took up writing and over the years she has produced a series of children's books, all focusing on the natural world - some in prose, some in verse. An accomplished artist, she paints pictures of animals, birds and flowers, from pet dogs and cats to wild birds and butterflies, and accompanies them with short poems and stories. Our Woodland Friends is Mrs Organ's fourth children's book. It introduces children aged 6-10 to the animals and birds which might be spotted on a walk in the forest, each illustrated by a charming portrait of the animal and accompanied by descriptive verse. Older children will enjoy reading them, while younger ones will delight in hearing them read and looking at the pictures. Mrs Organ is working on two further books for children entitled Animal Antics and ABC of Flowers. With her son Colin, a professional photographer, she has also compiled Reflections, a collection of verses accompanying delightful photographs of rural and garden scenes. All her books are dedicated to her great grandchildren.
Billy the Blackfella from Bourke
This is the story of Billy Gray, who called himself ''a blackfella from Bourke''. It is the authentic ''speaking'' voice of the man. Transcribed from tapes made by his friend of 52 years, he tells of life working as a stockman, drover, fencer, taxi driver, factory labourer, water and oil driller, in Australia and South America and Indonesia. His travels and experiences gave him a deep understanding of the cultures of different peoples. In South America he found for the first time in his life that he could move freely without experiencing that feeling of being an outcast; he just blended in.
