Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lure of the Land The mallee ridge in the east stood out black and sharp, the box trees in the flat were an indistinguishable brown mass, and the mulgas nearer showed grey and black against them. Above the ridge the sky was a hard, harsh red, for there had been a north wind the day before, and the air was still filled with dust. Just for a few minutes it seemed there was a cool hush, between the last call of the curlews, and the first sound of the parrots drinking at the tank in the flat, or waiting in the pepper trees by the verandah to take their turn at the water-filled camp oven. Then the red in the sky grew less, and the sun came up over the mallee, but the air held so much dust the red ball could be looked at without blinking. At its coming the soft cool quiet was gone. A few crows and magpies joined the smaller birds at the tank, and a bower bird in the pepper trees, after the red berries, tried to frighten the parrots and pigeons, at the camp oven, by imitating a hawk. Everything felt hot and gritty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
