An anthology of bush verse: By MARIE CHARLOTTE BELL... Far North Queensland Pioneer. A vintage edition of early works - first published in 1983 - On the life, times and multiple facets of a barmaid, a young nurse, a farmer's wife and a tin miner's daughter. Now I'm a writer, a poet, they say I should write pretty verses to brighten your day To hell with your wishes! Why should you play? When I am disgusted the whole world must pay! It is my privilege to write to my mood I'm not sorry one bit if you think that I'm rude I thank heaven's to Betsy with this pen I am blessed And am feeling much better now that you are depressed...

The usual word from the author: "Hand on heart - motor runnin' There she flies! Outback gunnin' A wicked grin, syringe and pen Gotcha! Ha! Pants down! Agen!" Once again I thank all those who assist me to immortalize some of the scallywags who make this a great country. I make no excuse for my frivolous attitude - It's an Aussie trait - 35 years of nursing has cemented my belief that laughter is the key to hereafter and I thank God for the ratbag geniuses who have struggled through the long drops with me - to save the bacon as best we can. There are none more 'werthy of me werks' than the 'ground crew' of the Air Borne Health Service - The Fund raisers! Good on You!
