We of the Never-Never

"We of the Never-Never" by Jeannie Gunn is an autobiographical novel published in 1907. Based on the author's experiences at a remote cattle station in Australia's Northern Territory in 1902, the book chronicles her journey as the first white woman to settle in the Mataranka area. Defying warnings that she would be "out of place," Gunn accompanied her husband to Elsey Station, documenting the challenges of bush life and the colorful characters she encountered in this forbidding outback landscape.
