Foreword by Tom Cole.
"Pine Creek publican Mayse Young was ... an outback identity by the age of twenty....Born in the bush, the daughter of an itinerant railway ganger, Mayse lived under canvas as a child...twice in her life she saw the destruction of her home and all she owned. She survived the heat, dust and floods of the N.T., the ... bombing of Darwin ... and the devastation wrought by Cyclone Tracy." --- BACK COVER.
