Biography & Memoir History Australiana
Ken Crawford’s Pom de Terre: Memoirs of a Jackaroo delivers a vivid, illustrated snapshot of life on a remote Australian cattle station. In this compact 154-page paperback, the young jackaroo recounts dusty musters, rogue bulls and campfire yarns that capture the true spirit of the outback.
Young adults and grown readers alike will appreciate the honest voice and lively sketches scattered through the pages, making Australian history feel personal rather than textbook-dry. The author’s humour and eye for detail turn every chapter into a self-contained bush tale perfect for dipping into during a lunch break or a long commute.
This very good condition copy comes from a smoke-free home, ready to slot straight onto an Aussie memoir shelf or into a backpack for holiday reading. If you love authentic station life stories, Pom de Terre is an engaging, lightweight addition to any collection of biographies and true stories.
