Around the Boree Log and Other Verses

In his affectionate and gently humorous verses John Oၲien sang of farming life of Irish settlers in Australia - at home, on the land, and at the Church upon the Hill that is the centre of their lives.This volume combines Oၲien's two books of verses, Around the Boree Log and The Parish of St Mels. It is verse that is simple and sincere and lit with a kindly understanding of the lives it chronicles.
