Discover the stories behind the tragic, and often untimely, deaths of our early pioneers in the bush.

Retired drover and bush poet Bruce Simpson travels along the old Cobb & Co coach roads and stock routes to the final resting places of some of our earliest settlers. Bruce recounts tales of the perils of childbirth in the outback and the deperate circumstances faced by victims of accidents, sickness, raging bushfires and rising floodwaters - all isolated from help by sheer distance.

Along with photographer Ian Tinney, whose striking photographs document these sites for posterity, Bruce visits some of the legendary drinking places, many in ruins, of characters such as bushmen and bushrangers - bringing to life memories of Australia in a time long since past.
