Geoff Allen's Gun Ringer reminds me of the macho-romanticism Ernest Hemingway. It's a celebration of virility and wild adventure. Earnest post-structuralists want to debunk all that kind of thing now. But without these gung-ho, young ringers, Australia's northern frontier world would never have been conquered. This book is their horses' hoof prints in the sands of time. - David Myers
