The Gun Ringer

Biography & Memoir History Australiana

The Gun Ringer by Geoff Allen is a gripping piece of Australian non-fiction that blends history, biography and outback geography into one fast-paced yarn. Set against the sweeping landscapes of northern Australia, the book revisits a little-known chapter of colonial history when a single, elusive cattleman became legend.

Published in 1998 as a sturdy trade paperback, this 241-page volume is ideal for young adult and adult readers who crave true stories from the bush. Allen’s vivid storytelling brings to life the dust, danger and determination of frontier life without ever slipping into textbook dryness.

This used copy is in very good condition: crisp, unmarked pages, no dog ears, and a tight binding that feels almost new. It comes from a smoke-free home, so you can shelve or gift it with confidence.

Collectors of Australian history, art and culture titles, or anyone hunting a biography that reads like an adventure novel, will appreciate The Gun Ringer. Grab it now to add a rugged slice of Down Under heritage to your library.
