Summary: 'Let's go bush' These laconic words were to spark the beginning of a journey for two adventurous city kids under the spell of Banjo Paterson, and his tales of horses and men in the Australian outback. So this yarn unfolds. In his introduction to this book, Col invites the reader to 'ride stirrup to stirrup' with him while he tells his stories. Mad if you don't. Their adventures take place at a time when Australia was very much in transition --having got TV, Olympic Games, rock 'n' roll, and going truly urban. It is a period that also pretty well marks the end of a distinct chapter of the postwa.
