Part 1
Overture
by H. G. SENDALL
What is it like—the ' outback '— that vast area of harsh rocky ground in Australia with its bare landscape of spinifex, gum trees, and waterless creeks? And what of the miners there, the ' fossickers,' who still harbour dreams of sudden, immense wealth-while sinking endless shafts away from the pitiless glare? H. G. Sendall talks about what it was like to live with these people amidst these vast distances and unaccustomed silences.
