Book Description
From pioneer tales to urban myths, folklore expert Graham Seal has gathered some of the best Australian stories from around the country. Tall tales and true, these are the stories we tell ourselves over and over again. Great Australian Stories is true to its title as it wanders from bush track to spooky hollow, follows the path of yowies and bunyips, searches for Lasseter's Reef, meets Dad and Dave and, on a different path, Henny-Penny, and then rambles into the cities where just as many entertaining characters are ready to tell stories.' - From the foreword by Warren Fahey. Australia has a rich tradition of story telling that reflects our unique history and experience. 'Great Australian Stories' gathers some of the best of our stories from colonial times to the present, with bush yarns, tall stories, urban myths, and tales of the mysterious and downright weird. This is an Australia of down-to-earth realism, tragedy and heroism, dry humour, an unexpectedly wide supernatural streak, and a strong sense of place. Stories feature cocky farmers, numbskulls like the drongo, bunyips, famous tricksters like Jacky Bindi-I and the world's greatest whinger, as well as larger than life real characters like the sad Eliza Donnithorne. With favourite yarns from around the country, 'Great Australian Stories' is the most representative collection available of the stories we tell about ourselves. Graham Seal explains where the stories come from, and why even the outright lies reveal a truth of sorts.

Book Description
The first book to examine the contribution of women film directors from Australia and New Zealand to world cinema. Jane Campion's highly acclaimed film, The Piano, finally brought international attention to the Australian film industry, but it was 25 years ago when Gillian Armstrong directed My Brilliant Career, and during this time there has been a significant body of work produced by women directors in Australia and New Zealand. Girls' Own Stories analyses the links between the short film, avant garde and mainstream, tracing how early themes are often reworked. Major preoccupations are evident, such as the position of women in colonial society; the dysfunctional or 'deviant' family; culture and ethnicity; power and sexuality; desire and deviance.
