Miles of Post and Wire

A story of hardship and heartache in the rough Western Australian outback, this inspiring memoir tells the story of an Indigenous woman’s determination to provide for her family. Depicting a childhood spent in bough shelters and makeshift camps, this new edition also relates how Florence Corrigan left her family as a teenager—with little more than a pound in her pocket—and sought employment as a fencer, a prospector, and a wild dog baiter. Prevailing over tough times and shocking family revelations, Florence’s account provides an in-depth look into the lives of Australia’s Indigenous people.
