Ancestral Legends of Mount Stuart Station

I clearly remember my Mother’s words as we sat on the verandah one afternoon. “If only somebody would come, just to have somebody to talk to.” She had put down the socks she was darning and was looking longingly down the dusty, winding road in front of her. I was a child at the time and I shared her longing for somebody to come to break the monotony and loneliness.

This is the story of the people who established Mount Stuart Station in 1880 on barren land near Tibooburra in northwestern NSW. Working tirelessly through times of drought and isolation, the Thomson family established a successful sheep station that remained in the same family for 126 years. – Sue Dinning

Power House & Mary Kathleen

The challenges and experiences which shaped my life.

My first book ‘Black Tea & Hay Dust’ was published in 2008 and represented the formative years of my life from age 3 to 18 years. Foreshadowed in this book two more books were proposed to complete a trilogy of my life up to and including retirement. However I have now decided to combine the second book ‘Power House’ with the third book ‘Mary Kathleen’ in a single book titled ‘Power House and Mary Kathleen’. This book covers the remainder of my life up to retirement and is divided into two parts:

Part 1 covers the period when I left home to continue my education in the city of Melbourne where I completed a Civil Engineering Diploma, courted, married and began a family life and a working career.

Part 2 covers my working career which initially was very difficult but blossomed later after a lucky break sent my family and me to far North West Queensland to a place called Mary Kathleen. This move changed our lives forever with some very big consequences.

About the Author

Terry Cunningham grew up on a dairy farm and later graduated in civil engineering at Swinburne College in Hawthorn, Melbourne. His career spanned 45 years where he spent time working throughout Australia and overseas in the Middle East, Montreal, Borneo, New Guinea, New Caledonia and Guinea.

The anecdotes and life episodes are many and varied, making this autobiography a real ‘page turner’.
