Gordon of Dingley Dell - The Life of Adam Lindsay Gordon- Poet and Horseman (HC)

by Lorraine Day
166 pages, illustrated Hardback

Australia’s national poet Adam Lindsay Gordon, who lived almost half his short life in Australia, spent 14 years in the south-east of South Australia. He was a trooper, horse breaker, politician, poet and steeplechase rider. An extraordinary horseman, his famous daredevil ‘leap’ alongside the Blue Lake at Mount Gambier has never been emulated. His former home, Dingley Dell Cottage, is today a museum and a living memory to the man and his works – a place where the spirit of Adam Lindsay Gordon lives on.
