UPFIELD AT ALBERMARLE

A study of Arthur Upfield and his long-term relationship with Albermarle station, in north-western NSW from the early 1920s, where he found so many characters and plots for his Bony novels, featuring an Aboriginal detective. Upfield's letters to EV (Verco) Whyte, the overseer at Albermarle, who inspired Upfield's Gripped By Drought, are augmented by Whyteâs own photographs of station life in the 1920s.

In the summer of 1922, Arthur Upfield was trudging along a rough, winding track beside the Darling River when he came to Albemarle Station fifteen miles north of Menindee. He pulled the swag off his shoulder, straightened his aching back and asked the manager for a job. The boss hesitated at first (there were already more than thirty men employed on the station), then he took pity on the tall, thin, dejected traveller and offered him some work repairing a fence. That job in the middle of summer nearly killed him, Upfield admitted in later years, but it was followed by easier work cooking for the men at the homestead and afterwards at a hut outback, where he was able to complete the first of his many books of crime fiction.

Upfield spent the greater part of five years at Albemarle, the longest period he had remained in one place since he arrived in Australia on 14th November 1911, He was born on 1st September 1890, the first-born son of a prosperous grocer of Gosport, on the western side of Portsmouth Harbour. There he spent a happy childhood with firm but indulgent parents, grandparents and aunts. An indifferent scholar in every subject except history and geography, he enjoyed reading and writing adventure stories and telling long, exciting tales to his four younger brothers. His interest in other times and distant places was stimulated by the fresh salt tang of the harbour, the ironclad ships and busy little steam ferries, the naval reviews at Spithead and Nelson's flagship Victory, which had prevailed against Napoleon Bonaparte and come to rest in moorings off Gosport. When he could not settle down to a tame career as an articled clerk in a firm of estate agents, auctioneers and surveyors, his father decided that he should go to Australia to learn farming.

OUT NOW

I am pleased to announce the release of a new Arthur Upfield title:

BONY AT BERMAGUI.

On a signboard at Cobargo I read the magic word 'Bermagui'. "That's the place Zane Grey wrote about," remarked my son. "That's the place I'm looking for," I decided. And what a place Oh, what a place. The air like wine and as cool as that in the green ferntree depths of the gully beside my mountain home The surf everlastingly playing its music on the sand beach before the town, and the great rocky headland to seaward...

Arthur Upfield was Australia's first international crime writer when he first stayed at Bermagui around the time of Zane Grey's visit there in 1936. This book holds a previously unknown Bony story set in Bermagui, The Fish That Danced on its Tail, an unpublished story on Big Game Fishing, and stories on Marlin and Swordfish that Upfield wrote only for the Bermagui Anglers Club. Also included are a chapter from his classic Bony novel, The Mystery of Swordfish Reef, and the only other Bony story - A Wisp of Wool and Disk of Silver and many photographs from the Upfield family archives.

I am proud to have just released for the first time in store and online, WALKABOUT, 13 of many journeys taken by my Grandfather throughout Australia.

* A personal quote from Arthur, " In me was born a passionate love for the Australian bush which will burn until the end, a love stronger than love of family, so strong that even now it threatens to claim me" unquote.

Arthur Upfield is known internationally for his crime novels featuring Bony, the Aboriginal Detective. In these thirteen stories written for Walkabout magazine between 1934 and 1949 and published in book form for the first time, readers will travel well beyond the cities, aided by maps and original photographs - through Cooper's Creek, visiting Lake Frome in South Australia, patrol the rabbit-proof fence in the West, pearling in Broome or go angling for Swordfish at Bermagui. Many of these stories give colour and detail to his more celebrated novels using the same settings as his crime novels. Another describes the Australian Geographical Society's 5000 mile venture from Perth to the Kimberleys and back, which was led by Upfield in 1948.

Truly a book to remind us of the "walkabout" - a journey (originally on foot) undertaken by the Australian Aboriginal in order to live in the traditional manner.

UPFIELD gets a mention in the Seattle Times, USA.

Here’s our book critic’s new favorite fictional detective | The Plot Thickens

Finally, an update from last month: Readers had recommended Arthur Upfield’s series of mystery novels featuring the half-Aboriginal detective Napoleon “Bony” Bonaparte, but several mentioned that the books (a series of 29, published from 1928 to 1966) were hard to come by. Since then I’ve heard from Upfield’s publisher, who wanted all interested readers to know that all of Upfield’s books, as of early this month, are available worldwide in corrected versions, including his previously unpublished autobiography “Beyond the Mirage.” (Several of the Bony novels have been reissued over the years in pirated versions, without corrections.)
