Softcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Patricia Jean Smith and her sister, Miss Mickie, grew up as railway children, their parents a station-mistress and a fettler. The catalogue of towns they lived in reverberates with the once-familiar clatter of metal and steam, but it was the tiny one-pub town of Waaia, in…the centre of Victoria's wheat-rich Goulburn Valley, that kept drawing them back. These were days of yabbying and rabbiting, of bush girls riding bareback on wilful ponies, and of the tin-lizzies that transformed the Mallee forever. It was a time for learning, for devouring books and for satisfying a powerful thirst for knowledge. And then it was a time for war. Hear the Train Blow tells of Patsy Adam-Smith's classic upbringing during the Great Depression. It is a celebration of the ordinary people of Australia, and of a life that no longer exists. 180 pages. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos. Category: Autobiography::Memoir; Biography & Autobiography; ISBN: 0170059952. ISBN/EAN: 9780170059954. Inventory No: 269265.

Hardback. Patsy Adam-Smith, Nelson. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: Good Markings: Previous ownerCondition remarks: Mylar layer on jacketA beloved classic of Australian memoir literature, Hear the Train Blow chronicles the remarkable childhood and adolescence of Patsy Adam-Smith, who grew up in th…e remote bush and railway camps of Victoria during the 1930s and 1940s. With warmth, humor, and an unflinching eye for detail, the narrative paints a vivid portrait of a vanishing Australia - one defined by itinerant railway workers, isolated communities, and the rhythms of a hard but richly textured rural life. Adam-Smith recounts her unconventional upbringing with a storyteller's gift, capturing the resilience and camaraderie of working-class Australians who carved out lives far from the comforts of the city. The prose carries a deeply nostalgic yet unsentimental tone, grounding each memory in the sights, sounds, and characters of a world that has largely disappeared. Widely regarded as one of the finest Australian autobiographies of the twentieth century, it stands as both a personal coming-of-age story and an invaluable social history of bush life. Hardback.
