Acerca de este audiolibro

In 1902, newly married Jeannie Gunn (Mrs Aeneas Gunn) left the security and comfort of her Melbourne home to travel to the depths of the Northern Territory, where her husband had been appointed manager of 'The Elsey', a large cattle station. One of the very few white women in the area, she was at first resented by people on and around the station, till her warmth and spirit won their affection and respect. This is her moving and simple account of her life amidst the beauty and cruelty of the land, and the isolation and loneliness.

Acerca del autor

Mrs Aeneas (Jeannie) Gunn (1870–1961) was born in Carlton, Melbourne and worked as a teacher after graduating from Melbourne University. In 1901 she married the explorer, pastoralist and journalist Aeneas James Gunn. Together they travelled to a remote outback station at Mataranka in the Northern Territory. When her husband died early in 1903, Gunn returned to live in Melbourne. Jeannie's first book, The Little Black Princess: a True Tale of Life in the Never-Never Land, was published in 1905. We of the Never Never, her second book, has remained a bestselling classic – selling more than a million copies since publication.
