2022 50c Treasured Australian Stories Henry Lawson The Drover's Wife Uncirculated Coin

In ‘The Drover’s Wife’, one of Lawson’s most famous stories, the nameless heroine fights fire and flood, defends herself and her children against interlopers, and in the story’s central incident, kills the snake threatening them all. Lawson brilliantly evokes the underlying truth of the woman’s desperate loneliness, the slow, irresistible erosion of her hopes and dreams, her sad attempts to relive and revive the values and scenes of a past life.
