The Horses Too Are Gone by Michael Keenan

The drought had reached crisis point. Cattle farmer Mike Keenan
decided there was only one solution: he would have to get his
starving cattle - and his beloved horses - to greener pastures
north of the border. But when he finally got there he found his
troubles had only just begun. South-west Queensland seemed like
a modern-day Wild West, and as Keenan moved his cattle along
the traditional droving routes in search of long-term pasture,
he had to match wits with a host of characters - 
as well as Nature herself.

The Horses Too Are Gone is the true story of Keenan's struggle
to survive against mounting odds, and it's an action-packed
adventure that rivals any fiction. A fresh voice from the Bush,
Mike Keenan writes with a deep passion and knowledge of 
Australian life on the land, tinged with a sadness and nostalgia for
a way of life that is under threat. The Horses Too Are Gone
will strike a chord with all Australians.

Mike Keenan is a fifth generation cattle farmer from NSW.
This is his first book.
