One of the very few white women in the area, she was at first resented by people on and around the station, till her warmth and spirit won their affection and respect. She had an unerring ear and eye for the sounds and sights of the country; and this is her moving and simple account of her life amidst the beauty and cruelty of the land, and the isolation and loneliness - together with the comradeship and kindness of those around her.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe favourite of generations of Australians since it was first published in 1908, We of the Never-Never can truly be called a classic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAeneas Gunn was the author of We of the Never-Never, published in 1908.
