H. Ironbark Clint, Alfred 1807 1883 Scott, Montagu Southerly Busters Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "Southerly Busters" by George Herbert Gibson is a collection of humorous poetry and anecdotes written in the late 19th century. This volume captures the essence of Australian bush life, often highlighting the rambunctious experiences of characters in rural settings, including the trials of squatters, shepherds, and the occasional stockman. The author includes various comedic narratives that intertwine camaraderie, hardship, and the spirit of exploration typical of the era. The opening of "Southerly Busters" sets the stage for the author’s reflections and humorous takes on life in Australia through the humorous musings of "Ironbark." The preface showcases a witty self-deprecating tone as the author speaks to his inexperience and attempts to connect with the public and the expectations that come with literary production. Through the poem-styled narratives, readers are introduced to eccentric characters encountering the trials of daily life, society's quirks, and personal foibles, often infused with a slice of self-reflection and societal observation.
