This book is written about short stories and poet like as The Songs They used to Sing A Vision of Sandy Blight. The Songs They used to Sing. On the diggings up to twenty odd years ago and as far back as I can remember on Lambing Flat, the Pipe Clays Gulgong Home Rule and so through the roaring list in bark huts tents, public houses sly grog shanties and well the most glorious voice of all belonged to a bad girl. We were only children and didn't know why she was bad but we weren't allowed to play near or go near the hut she lived in and we were trained to believe firmly that something awful would happen to us if we stayed to answer a word and didn't run away as fast as our legs could carry us if she attempted to speak to us.
