Description
First published in 1898, Below and On Top captures life in the Australian bush, focusing on a detailed portrait of mining at the turn of the century. Illustrating the shift among writers in the colony towards a consciously Australian outlook from the late 1890s, this collection also includes Dyson's renowned story 'A Golden Shanty', which featured as the title piece in The Bulletin's 1889 Christmas anthology.
