1 Men Who Blazed the Highway Francis Murray , 1959 extract prose
— Appears in: The Spirit of Man : A Book of Adventure 1959; (p. 15-22) Editor's note: 'In this vivid account, Francis Murray takes us back to the days when the track [from southern New South Wales to Melbourne, which later became the Hume Highway] was being slowly and painfully marked out. He briefly traces the history of the highway and introduces us to the original overlanders, notable among whom was John Conway Bourke, a typical pioneer in his courage, energy and resource.'
