"On the Track" by Henry Lawson is a compilation of short stories offering a glimpse into the lives of Australians during the gold rush, portraying bushmen, miners, and the women in their lives as they navigate love, struggle, and difficult relationships within the tough Australian outback. Beginning with a reminiscent look at mining community songs, the book reveals the cultural history created from their shared experiences. A child narrator shares encounters with a captivating but misunderstood "bad girl," comparing her life to other respectable families.
