关于此有声读物

In these frustrating days of diesel and electric trains it is hard to remember the smell of coal smoke, the hiss of steam, and the sting of cinders flying into your eyes. With his passion for the olden days and his famous ear for a good yarn, Bill ‘Swampy’ Marsh has brought together another enthralling collection of funny, dramatic and hilarious stories from drivers and gangers, firemen and guards, their families and everyone in between. Just as he did in Great Flying Doctor Stories, Great Australian Shearing Stories and Great Australian Droving Stories, Bill ‘Swampy’ Marsh helps us remember who and what we were as a nation on this journey you’ll never forget.
