Confessions of a Bibliophile

"RACHEL" Jeff McGill   “Brumby hunter, inspiring read..

medicine woman, bushranger’s ally and troublemaker for good”…the remarkable pioneering life of RACHEL KENNEDY..brilliant”.

This is one of the best stories I’ve read in awhile.. and one I will read again. Rachel, the great great grandmother of the author was an amazing woman, who will long be remembered for her passion and love of the Warrumbungle mountains, NSW. Nothing seemed to faze her, she ignored the male/female tags of the time that was expected .. she rounded up brumbies as good as any man, riding a man’s saddle. Her work effort, her belief in right against wrong and generous nature led her along so many paths, expecting nothing in return.. a must read.
