The Government Gums: this collection details the use of gum trees and logs as goals in the Western Australian country and bush. Rattling the Dish: in days and places where there was no police presence a committee of diggers dispensed bush justice with a keen eye on both the written law of the Mining Act, and accepted law among men.
