A Shilling on the Bar: A collection of, believe it or not, Australian yarns
If you put a shilling on the bar for a beer, which cost 8 pence, then your change might be a story of the outback.
A Shilling on the Bar is a collection of short stories that have been collected by Trododniak Weatherness, Senior Magistrate as he travelled his circuit in far North Queensland. The 16 stories are titled by the character's name and each carries an introductory photo of the era sourced from the John Oxley Library, State Library of Queensland.
