Summary "We of the Never-Never" by Jeannie Gunn is a semi-autobiographical novel written in the early 20th century that explores life in the Australian outback, particularly in the Northern Territory. The narrative follows the experiences of the Maluka and his wife, known as "the Missus," as they embark on their adventurous journey to a remote cattle station known as Elsey, affectionately dubbed the Never-Never. The story paints a vivid picture of the characters they encounter, including the bush-folk, stockmen, and indigenous communities, showcasing the challenges and joys of life in this wild, unyielding environment. The opening of the book introduces readers to the Maluka and the Missus as they await their transport to the Elsey. Through witty dialogues and descriptions of the colorful characters, such as the Sanguine Scot and the Quiet Stockman, tension rises as they anticipate the Missus' arrival and the skepticism surrounding her fit for the bush life. The narration captures the apprehension and determination of the Missus, who is resolved to embrace her new life despite the warnings of the bushmen. The early chapters blend humor with poignant insights into the camaraderie and challenges faced by those living in the rugged landscape, establishing a tone that promises a rich exploration of Australian frontier life.
