Not far to go now, old cow, old cow...

After a long day in the saddle, it's only after all the animals are taken care of that the weary ringer can rest.

A poem for the very young, this book was written by Jet Jones who has spent his life in the North Queensland outback.

The poem tells the story of a cattle muster, and was illustrated by artist Katie Jones.

With detailed drawings of cattle, horses, dogs and children, this book is sure to appeal to lovers of the Australian outback. For urban readers, it will introduce them to a different way of life.
