Reception

The Argues said "Plenty of action, sudden deaths, drover's Whistles, the thunderin hooves of cattle, and the whole raucous, colorful cavalcade of Australla in its lusty infancy, will ensure Mr. Timms' readers of a good bill of fare."{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article71773628 |title=GORDON STEWART reviews the week's novels. |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne |date=29 December 1956 |accessdate=19 October 2014 |page=12 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}
