The Shepherd's Hut

Product Information

It was a lovely touch to be welcomed with a homemade Shepherds Pie and bottle of fizz. It made our visit all the more special. David and Brenda very welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed and let us know they were around if needed. And I wish I could say I stayed up late thinking about him but the truth is I was only awake a little while. I was so tired the swag felt like a sponge that soaked me up. I went to sleep like someone disappearing from the earth, like rain sopped into dust.

Two souls, one starting life's journey while the other's journey winding down, are both damaged individuals. Was any human connection possible? The harshness and brutalities of life were ever present in this novel, be they the unforgiving land or the cruelty of one's fellow man. The colorful, vernacular language definitely gave "The Shepherd's Hut" a gritty, hardscrabble feel. As a reader unfamiliar with the writing of Tim Winton, I was unaware that he is one of Australia's most acclaimed authors. "The Shepherd's Hut" was an awesome and excellent introduction to Winton's literary gems! I highly recommend this book!

The dimensions of a modern shepherd’s hut can go up to 20ft + in length. By today’s standards, a 12ft hut would be considered small and maybe used as a garden retreat, writers hut or basic holiday offering. Shepherd’s hut length usually starts at 12″ as a minimum but can go all the way up 24ft long. The smaller huts will be at least 1.5 tonnes in weight with the big, top of the range huts weighing up to 3-4 tonnes. If you fancy a bbq we have that on offer on the lawn along with a firepit to keep you warm on a cool evening. Simple, but later he shows why we need to do better by our boys and young men so they don’t keep replicating the silent and/or violent models they may live with. Jaxie had almost nobody to learn from. Jaxie grabs a few provisions, including a water bottle and a pair of binoculars that will become pivotal in the story, and heads off into the dry yonder. Winton sneaks in the ghost of an explanation for Sid's behaviour: he and his hunting mate, Bill Cox, were in the army. Shirley says they were overseas together but won't give anything else away.

The owners were lovely and the Shepard’s pie on arrival was amazing. If you want to completely get away from it all in a fabulous Shepard’s hut with the most amazing views then this is definitely the place to visit. We had the best honeymoon that we will always remember. Brutal. That is the word that best describes Tim Winton’s new novel, The Shepherd’s Hut. Brutal. I felt bruised and winded on finishing it. Parched and dusty. I stared around me and the familiar was unfamiliar. The valued, valueless.A sense of place is vital to this novel. Unlike the typical Western Australian coastal settings of Winton’s novels, this is set in the desolate salt planes and old gold mines of the state. A location Winton has said he had always wanted to use as a setting for a novel but one rich with symbolism for his thesis on the crisis of masculinity. The Cap is friends with a local cop and gets away with a lot. Jaxie gets known at school as Horsemeat Claxton.
