Possibly Australia's greatest Writer... About Henry Lawson t Wikipedia
Steelman and Smith Essays Short Stories Verse  "By the 1890s Australia had been settled for a little more than 100 years and Lawson was arguably the first Australian-born writer who really looked at Australia with Australian eyes, not influenced by his knowledge of other landscapes. He was the first perhaps to give voice an 'Australian' character."
