On Our Selection

"It's no use," said Dad at last, placing his hand on his head, and throwing down his bough. We did the same, then stood and watched the fence go . . ."



On Our Selection is the wonderful story of the pioneering Rudd family settling untouched native forest in Australia during the late 19th Century.

Hilarious, desperate and confronting by turns it is a story of heartbreak and hope and above all a family surviving and thriving amidst the hardships together.



"Faster still went the music; faster whirled Sal and Paddy Maloney. And Paddy was on his mettle. He was lifting Sal off her feet . . ."



Wild Arancini Classics is delighted to bring you this exciting new edition of Steele Rudd's wonderful memoir of pioneer life On Our Selection.
