Cry Sorrowful for Bullocky

A novel of the first Australian cricket team to tour overseas

Andrew R. Cunningham had a passion for cricket and he has taken historical events and characters and re-imagined them. He has produced a fascinating novel concentrating on certain aspects of the lives of individual players prior to and after the First Cricket Tour of England in 1868.

He has used his power of language to create and define characters in such a way that the reader will be entertained, whilst being introduced to perhaps unknown aspects of events in early days of colonial Australia, that were indeed real, and impacted on this story of the first Australian International team.

His evocative and clever writing describes aspects often forgotten or not previously represented by this story. He uses compassion and humour as he gently provokes the reader to think seriously about the past injustices practised by society at the time. His writing also celebrates the prowess, skills and sporting successes of the Aboriginal cricketers. His empathy is encapsulated in the title, ‘Cry sorrowful for Bullocky.’

SA Greats

South Australians are lucky.

They have not only a temperate climate but a government, developed from the principles of the Enlightenment, which encourages innovation and social progress. The lead South Australians have given the world in agriculture, science and social advancement can, in part, be attributed to the women and men described in this volume and to the system set up by Wakefield and his team in London in 1835. The culture espoused by such people as Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill reached a long way!

RB Smith’s invention of the Stumpjump Plough, Lawrence Bragg’s discoveries which eventually found the structure of DNA and Mary Lee’s world-first embraced innovation and social reform. Perhaps the greatest gift to humanity though was Howard Florey’s development of penicillin. These people and others are saluted in this book.

Their contributions do not appear to be diminishing. Terry Tao’s recent solutions to many different longstanding mathematical problems and the installation of the world’s biggest battery in South Australia in 2019 suggest we are not faltering, but there is a long way to go.

The Towitta Tradgedy

This story recounts the inquest into the murder of Bertha Schippan on 1 January 1902. Her elder sister, Mary, was charged with the murder, but she was found not guilty. At the time, the news surrounding the murder and trial captivated the nation.

On New Year’s Night 1902, in a lonely farmhouse at Towitta, 13 year old Bertha Schippan was brutally murdered. She suffered over 40 stab wounds and the walls and floor of the house were covered in blood. She had fought her attacker ferociously before succumbing to deep cuts to her neck. Her 24 year old sister, Mary Schippan, went to trial for her murder two months later, but was found not guilty. The murder was a sensation at the time with unprecedented media coverage throughout Australia. Mary’s relationship with Gustav Nitschke provided the press with much to write about and the police with an apparent motive. The crime remains officially unsolved. Ron Nitschke, a nephew of Gustav Nitschke, researched the case for over 50 years. He spoke to many people who lived in the district and knew the family well, including his own family. Ron tells the story of the murder in great detail. We learn why the murder was committed and by whom. The vast majority of people in the Murray Flats and the Barossa Valley knew who murdered Bertha. It seems the only people who didn’t were the police…
