Around the Boree Log and Other Verses
(1921) by 'John O'Brien' is a book of ballad-like poems dealing mainly with the vicissitudes of Irish-Australian Catholic rural communities. The characteristics of good nature, obstinacy and religious faith traditionally associated with the Irish permeate such well-known and popular verses as 'The Old Bush School', 'Ten Little Steps and Stairs', 'Tangmalangaloo', 'At Casey's after Mass', and 'Said Hanrahan'.
