‘Trim, knowledgeable writing which firmly plants its men, horses, and myths in the framework of a tough pastoral’ said The Observer about Donald Stuart’s last novel, The Driven. Once again there is the stamp of reality in Yaralie and the masterly economy of phrasing which readers of Donald Stuart will expect. He not only knows but conveys the strange, hard, fascinating life he describes - about looking for gold, making camps, shooting kangaroo, and the struggle for existence when things get tough and gold becomes hard to find.

As in The Driven, this novel is an evocation of the remote Australian territories first peopled by the blacks, and in addition, a plea for understanding and tolerance of the coloured people. Donald Stuart understands more than country, he understands people. We follow the fortunes of Yaralie, a coloured girl born of a white father and a half-caste mother, from an early age until she falls in love. The story has authenticity and controlled power and brings to life the harshness of the Australian outback and the courage of the people who work out their lives there.

1 6 y separately published work icon The Driven Donald Stuart , Melbourne : Georgian House , 1961 Z304271 1961 single work novel

When a herd of bullocks has to be driven from a farm to a railhead, across an arid stretch of Australian desert, two men, widely different in age, experience, character and outlook come together at the beginning of the journey. Old John Napier is a veteran of the first World War, a tough, taciturn drover, who commands complete loyalty from the three aborigines he employs. He takes on a young man of twenty-six called Tom, and the five of them set off to deliver beef on the hoof in the best possible condition and with the minimum losses.

The Driven brings sharply to life and the harshness of the Australian landscape, the unspoken struggle between personalities and, against the constant lowing and shuffling of the herd, the companionship which comes to men through their dependence on one another, brought about by the difficult job in hand and the loneliness of a bitter countryside.
