Mudie, one of Australia's most passionate mid-twentieth-century poets, chronicles the sights, sounds, and pulse of Australian life — from the flash of a kingfisher darting across a creek to the broad, sun-scorched rhythms of the outback — with an immediacy and warmth that makes the natural world feel alive on the page.\n\nA proud inheritor of the Australian bush poetry tradition, Mudie writes with a democratic fervour and a deep respect for the working people and landscapes that shaped a nation's identity. His verse argues, with quiet conviction, that Australia's soul is found not in its cities but in its open spaces, its wildlife, and its people — and this collection stands as a testament to that belief, leaving the reader with an urge to look up, pay attention, and wonder what they, too, might have been missing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130942398683,"sku":"2026100007152-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/90263393-1f7b-45ae-be69-4e8b3e49c324.png?v=1786592976","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007152-secondhand-look-the-kingfisher","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
