The Australian bushman’s sense of humour is legendary: dry, laconic and with a good bite. Jack Drake is one of Australia’s best writers and reciters of this comic bush verse. But he also has a great sense of the farcical and the crazy tall story. These are more ballads and yarns you’ll be wanting to recite in the evenings on the verandah. Again, we guarantee a belly-full of laughs or your money back. Jack Drake is one of those larger than life characters … he is an excellent showman and it is an unforgettable experience to hear him in full cry relating the escapades of the redoubtable “Woody’. Bruce Simpson, author of Packhorse Drover
