Along the storied banks of Western Australia's Fitzroy River, a vanishing world of drovers, stockmen, and hard country living is preserved in the voices of those who lived it. Raparapa: All Right, Now We Go 'Longside the River compiles the oral histories and personal testimonies of the Fitzroy River drovers — among them Eric Lawford, Jock Shandley, Jimmy Bird, Jean Watson, Peter Clancy, John Watson, Locky Green, Harry Watson, and Barney Barnes — weaving together a rich tapestry of bush life, cattle drives, and the deep cultural knowledge of the Kimberley region. Edited by Paul Marshall, this anthology stands as a vital document of Australian pastoral and Indigenous history, preserving the vernacular voices and lived experiences of men and women whose stories might otherwise have been lost to time. The book captures the rugged spirit of the Kimberley with unflinching authenticity, presenting a portrait of a landscape and a way of life that shaped the Australian frontier. For anyone drawn to the red dust and vast skies of the outback, Raparapa asks a quietly profound question: what else have we forgotten to remember?
