Down on his Luck

Travel back in time to Australia’s most glorious era – the era of squatters, gold rushes, shearers, Cobb & Co. coaches, bushrangers and, of course, swagmen.

The swagmen of this era are the principal characters of Down on his Luck – the kings of the road who tramped Australia during these most stirring of times.

Down on his Luck portrays the adventures that befall them… the mateship that characterises them… their struggles… their triumphs… their tragedies.

Author Ted Cavey has created a rich anthology of fascinating stories that will enthrall from beginning to end.

The stories have been written after detailed research into the defining events of Australia’s history.

They are stories that will make us proud to call ourselves Australian.
