Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Over the Sliprails" by Henry Lawson is a collection of short stories published in 1900. This volume gathers sixteen tales of Australian life, most reprinted from newspapers, with several appearing in print for the first time. The stories range from bush characters and shanty-keepers to sharpers and selectors' daughters, capturing diverse experiences from the Australian outback. One piece, "The Hero of Redclay," was originally conceived as a novel before Lawson condensed it into short story form for this collection.
