Gunnedah Hero has had another great review. This one posted on the NSW Writers' Centre website.
Follow the link to read the review.
THIS EXTRACT SAYS IT ALL:
Tucker paints a thoroughly Australian story. The dogs, cattle and horses are central, as are the countryside and the family cattle station, Wiralee. Done poorly this ends up with everybody eating meat pies while they drive around in Holdens with
their Akubras on, but Tucker doesn’t fall for this trap. The Aussie atmosphere is woven into the story. Gunnedah Hero will also provide an education about the times for its intended young adult market. The cover of Gunnedah Hero displays a couple of awards the book has won. They are well deserved.
