We of the Never-Never is a beloved classic of Australian literature, chronicling the true-life adventures of Jeannie Gunn as she becomes the first white woman to live on Elsey Station, a remote cattle property in the Northern Territory in the early 1900s. Written under the pen name Mrs Aeneas Gunn, the narrative captures the raw beauty and isolation of the Australian outback with warmth, humour, and vivid authenticity. Paired with The Little Black Princess, a companion work that presents a tender portrait of Bett-Bett, a young Aboriginal girl, the volume offers a rare and intimate glimpse into Indigenous life and the relationships forged across cultures on the frontier. Together, these two works stand as enduring testaments to the pioneering spirit of the Australian bush, celebrated for generations as cornerstones of the nation's literary heritage.
