I couldn't find any info for this Australian Western Show. I have no idea when they were made. Enjoyable listen.

About the author:

R.S. Porteous (Born: 18 Aug 1896 Toorak, Victoria Died: 10 Apr 1963)  was best known for his prizewinning novel , published in 1960. Prior to becoming a writer, however, Syd Porteous tried his hand at many other occupations. He was a Light-Horseman in the First World War; a commercial artist in Melbourne during the early 1920s; a Jackeroo, then part-owner of a vast central-Queensland cattle property; one of the first tourist-launch operators who took passengers to the Barrier Reef Islands in the late 1930s; and First Mate on a US Army merchant ship during the Second World War. When he became a writer in later life he produced some of Australia’s most authentic novels and short stories – all based on his own adventures and experiences.
