THE MOUNTAIN MEN
AND THE SNOWY RIVER RIDERS ON THE MOUNTAINS MAKE THEIR HOME
Written by James Cowan
Photographs by Colin Beard
Hardcover Book/ Coffee Table Book with dust jacket/ cover
‘WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE remote valleys and graze their cattle on the High Plains of the Southern Alps? It was in search of the answer to this question that James Cowan and Colin Beard decided to recreate on horseback the journeys across the Snowy Mountains of the first explorers and early pioneers.
They subsequently discovered a country inhabited by a people not only unaffected by progress but who, as if by common consent, seem to prefer the way of life of their forebears.
The mountain people — men such as Billy Cartner still panning for gold on the upper reaches of the Crooked River, or old Nugget Pendergast plaiting his kangaroo hide stockwhips outside his hut near the Snowy - have one thing in common: they are concerned with holding on to what is left of a culture forged in these mountains over one hundred years ago.
The authors made many journeys over the mountains and along winding river valleys. They visited hermits in their huts, talked with high plainsmen like Wally Rider and in autumn joined in the great Cattle musters on Bogong High Plains. They listened to their stories and photographed them in their familiar surroundings.
THE MOUNTAIN MEN is a nostalgic adventure story and a unique record of the authors' journey backwards through time, along the great mountain trails in search of Australia's bush heritage.
Colin Beard's superb photography brings to life these mountain men in a way that complements James Cowan's highly evocative text. Together they have left us with a glimpse of a world that few of us will wish to forget.’
