	October 2004
		Ten years later in D'Arcy Niland's The Shiralee, the word is used metaphorically in reference to the child, Buster; she is a shiralee, a physical and psychological burden for her father, Jim Macauley, an itinerant worker.
		In his introduction to the 2002 reprint of D'Arcy Niland's book The Shiralee (originally published in 1955), Les Murray comments that when the book was first issued the word shiralee had little currency in Australia and abroad, but at the same time it had appeal because it sounded 'exotic or plausible'.
		What we may ask ourselves is whether the connotation of 'burden', either actual or metaphorical, is a connotation that existed in shiralee outside of Niland's book.

	Published Books by Rafe Champion with varied subjects.
		In the 1950s, Niland (named after Darcy) began to interview people who had been close to the young man. The search continued when Niland and Ruth Park retraced Darcy's steps in the United states, from New York to Memphis, where he died in May 1917.
		I am honoured to be associated with this book which is very much the work of D'Arcy Niland and Ruth Park.
		Ruth produced a guidebook on Sydney in 1973 and I had the immense good fortune to work with her, helping to bring the book up to date after 25 years of frantic demolition and rebuilding of Sydney.

	Australian Authors - DArcy Niland (1919 - 1967)
		D'Arcy Niland was born in 1919 in Glen Innes New South Wales, into a large Irish Catholic family.
		Buster, four-year-old bundle of loyalty and fortitude, combines these more adult qualities with a natural childishness, and the result is a character creation of almost startling conviction.
		He left school at 14 and for a time (at age 16) worked as a copy-boy for the Sydney Sun.
