Bush Studies

Synopsis

Written during the 1890's Bush Studies presents a bleak and uncompromising yet poignant and revealing image of life in the Australian bush. These are not the stories of mates gathered round the fire but of the dark loneliness of women. Not only are there fences to be built and a living to be coaxed from the land but babies to be born - or buried - and the dangers of profound isolation to be injured as well as the cruelties or plain disappointments of men.
