A study of Arthur Upfield and his long-term relationship with Albermarle station, in north-western NSW from the early 1920s, where he found so many characters and plots for his Bony novels, featuring an Aboriginal detective. Upfield's letters to EV (Verco) Whyte, the overseer at Albermarle, who inspired Upfield's Gripped By Drought, are augmented by Whyte’s own photographs of station life in the 1920s.
Maxine Withers is 100 years old and has written Bushman of the Great Annabranch. She is currently in hospital.
* The first proper study of Upfield's long-term relationship with Albermarle station in the NSW north-west corner, where many of the ideas for his novels were formed. * Reviews and interviews with Upfield's grandson, William Upfield, living in Melbourne.
