The Red Heart: Stories of Central Australia by Frank Clune (also published as The Red Heart: Sagas of Centralia) is a collection of travel stories, historical sketches and character portraits inspired by the Australian outback. First published by The Hawthorn Press, Melbourne, in 1944, the book reflects Clune’s interest in the history, personalities and dramatic episodes of Central Australia.
Drawing on exploration history, bush legends and real-life encounters, Clune presents stories of the people who lived, travelled and struggled in the harsh interior of the continent. The collection includes accounts such as “Goodbye, Mick Considine,” “Lasseter’s Ghost,” and “The Man Who Found Leichhardt,” blending biography, adventure and folklore with descriptions of the landscape and spirit of the Red Centre.
