The dreamer, Starvation Bore, New South Wales, 1963 [picture] /

Title supplied by photographer, see NLA file 204/04/00122.; Part of Collection: Outback series, Australia, 1953-1995.; Condition: Good.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an24704676. "Eric, son of boss drover Peter Hood (visible with horse in background), was fascinated by American western pulp novels though he was living a probably far more adventurous "western" life in our own outback. Peter, whose image is on the dust jacket of my book 'Outback in focus' (Rigby 1968) died only recently in Cunnamulla, Queensland. Eric survives in north eastern Victoria."--Photographer's note
