The Around The Campfire Series - The Three Photos

The Round the Camp Fire” series featured in The Western Champion and General Advertiser for the Central-Western Districts around Barcaldine, Queensland between 1892 and 1922. This story is the first publication, unattributed, later published in 1901 under the author’s name - by “Jimmie Pannikin” (Donald E. Fraser). It’s not a bush story per se – it’s about a small-time urban villain – contrasting the two worlds of the 1890s. It was uncovered and rewritten by ANU. This recording is voiced and produced by Perform Australia Advanced Diploma Students Annie Nogaliza, Bronte Thomson, Isaac Travers & Mikkie Martinez
