First published in 1934 by Angus and Robertson Ltd. in Sydney (at 6 shillings a copy) and again in 1944 by Consolidated Press Ltd., 'Buffaloes' struck a chord with Australia's metropolitans. Its story of adventure, mateship and freedom massaged the escapist yearnings of a society torn by economic depression and total war, and stirred a persistent curiosity and anxiety about Australia's "unknown North." | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Carl Warburton's Buffaloes: Adventures in Arnhem Land, p. vii-xxiii | Publisher: | Gecko Books | Place of Publication: | Marleston, Australia | ISBN: | 0977511413 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 210303 Australian History (excl Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander History) | HERDC Category Description: | B1 Chapter in a Scholarly Book | Publisher/associated links: | http://nla.gov.au/anbd.bib-an40312766 | Editor: | Editor(s): Roberts, David Andrew and Parker, Adrian |
