No Boundary Fence
By Frank O'Grady
Published by Angus and Robertson: London, Sydney 1960 1st Edition

" No Boundary Fence by Frank O'Grady, published in 1960 by Angus & Robertson, is a historical novel that brings to life the story of Hamilton Hume, one of Australia's pioneering explorers. The narrative delves into Hume's transformation from a "currency lad"—a term used for Australian-born colonists of European descent—into a celebrated figure in the exploration of Australia's interior. O'Grady paints Hume as a brave, upright, and capable man, highlighting not only his adventurous expeditions but also his personal life, including his enduring love for Elizabeth Dight, who patiently awaited his return from the challenges and hardships of exploring.

Frank O'Grady, an Australian author known for his historical novels, aimed to humanize historical figures, transforming them from mere names in history books into relatable personalities. In No Boundary Fence, he succeeds in this endeavor by providing a vivid portrayal of Hume's character and experiences. The novel is not just a recounting of historical events but also an exploration of the emotional and personal aspects of Hume's life, offering readers a comprehensive view of the man behind the explorer title.
