[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 276443, member: 1991"] If you follow the link back, you will find more of Henry Lawson's work. I especially recommend "The Loaded Dog". It's best if you read it aloud to your family. It's a favourite of Aussie schoolkids, in elementary school. But everybody loves it. You may be able to find some links on-line of people reading these aloud. husband & I have been thinking of combining our forces and doing some of thesereadings too; if there aren't any Lawson (or Banjo Patterson poems) read aloud online, then we need to do it. It helps to have it read with an Aussie accent, but you can manage without it. Another favourite is "The Ironbark Chip". Ironbark is VERY hard wood, it blunts axes. It also has long splinters in it, I remember my father cursing at it when he had to chop it. I remember picking up the pieces of wood for our fire and having to handle it carefully, because those splinters were like steel spikes and would go through leather gloves. Marg [/QUOTE]
