THE SPECTATOR: ”A good deal of humour, a great deal of spirit, and a robust philosophy are the main characteristics of these Australian poets. Because they write of a world they know, and of feelings they have themselves shared in, they are far nearer the heart of poetry than the most accomplished devotees of a literary tradition.”

THE ACADEMY: ”A book of honest, direct, sympathetic, humorous writing about Australia from within is worth a library of travellers' tales ... The result is a real book--a book in a hundred. His language is terse, supple, and richly idiomatic. He can tell a yarn with the best.”
