Publishers Description: From the riotous picnic races to the famous Mt Isa rodeo, from childhood in the yumba to gutsy outback pubs, Unbranded presents a strikingly original vision of Australia.With a rollicking cast of stockmen, shearers, barmaids and tourists, this novel is the story of three men. Sandy is a white man; Bindi, a Murri; Mulga is related on his mothers side to Bindi, and on his Irish fathers side to Sandy. Their saga . and enduring friendship . covers forty years in the mulga country of the far west. It tells how Sandy achieves his dream of owning a cattle empire; how Bindi regains part of his tribal lands for his people, and how Mulga finally sits down to write about their shared experiences. Mulgas journey also brings him face-to-face with the dark side of urban despair and his peoples struggle with alcohol."One of the most important Black texts ... a creative work of significance.I read Herbs novel throughout the night, not being able to put it down.I found it enthralling."Mudrooroo
