Book excerpt: This spectacular book, designed by Anthony Battaglia of Box Communications, features the photography of Nick Leary, who was introduced to the art form while working with some of the world's best photographers during his earlier career as an international model. Then working for some years as a celebrated fashion photographer, Nick Leary now uses his photographic art to 'Celebrate Australia' and bring this celebration to the wider world. This book features iconic Australian brumbies that roam the outback. He says: 'There is a feeling about this country that excites me, it's a feeling of freedom and rawness. I chose to photograph Australia's wild horses as to me the brumby epitomises this feeling and through these images I can share both the beauty and the spirit of Australia with the world.'

Book excerpt: The Brumby holds a special place in the Australian psyche. Immortalised in films such as The Man from Snowy River and books like the Silver Brumby series, Brumbies epitomise the spirit of freedom and courage beloved by most Australians. Today, however, they face an uncertain future. Considered by some to be feral pests and increasingly marginalised in lands that have been their home for over a century, Brumbies need our support more than ever before if they are to be protected for the enjoyment of future generations. Bringing together breathtaking photographs of Brumbies in the wild as well as often thought-provoking and entertaining stories from people privileged enough to have encountered or worked with them personally, Brumby celebrates the beauty, strength and indomitable spirit of these amazing animals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's not just a war over horses. It's a battle for the soul of Australia. This is a book about the intense culture war raging around Australia's wild horses, known as brumbies. It pits a vision of the legendary Man from Snowy River and the iconic ANZAC Light Horse against the spectre of ecosystems destroyed by feral pests. The debate involves powerful politicians and media commentators, and stars an animal mythologised in Australian poetry and prose. But in essence, this is about us. The Brumby Wars is about Australians at war with each other over their vision of an ideal Australia. To ecologists and people who ski, walk and fish in the High Country and other areas where the brumbies proliferate, they are a feral menace which must be removed to save delicate alpine landscapes. To the descendants of cattle families and many Australians in urban and regional areas, brumbies are untouchable, a symbol of wildness and freedom. Something has to give. But what? The land or the horses? This war is set to escalate dramatically before we have an answer. Featuring interviews with characters from all sides of the debate, The Brumby Wars is the riveting account of a major national issue and the very human passions it inspires. It is also a journey, a quest to understand what makes us tick in our increasingly polarised country. Praise for Anthony Sharwood's From Snow to Ash 'Makes for inspirational reading' West Australian 'A distinctive, charming narrative ... a thinking, caring man's trek' Canberra Times 'A joyous read with personality in spades ... A book for the adventurer in us all' Australian Geographic

Book excerpt: The four items in this collection are provided free of charge in the pdf edition as an add-on to my short novel, Poor Angelina. Country Stories from the early years of that century that was best remembered by those who handed us our history lessons, (The 19th to the 20th!). It was a good time; our world was comparatively untouched by wars, but for that sorry event The Boer War. They were protected from the worst news by the mere monthly cycle of news print in many parts of our home-lands. There are no heroes and no grand events; just every-day happenings that have a humourous and entertaining twist. The reader will identify with the characters. Some are likable. Some are forgettable, but forgivable. The psychoanalyst would agree that there is one of each kind of psyche. The historian would say they were typical country folk, but that just depends which one the reader feels closest to. Enjoy!
