The Big Country (Timms novel)

The Big Country is a 1962 Australian novel by E. V. Timms and Alma Timms. It was the eleventh in the Great South Land Saga of novels.

E. V. Timms died in 1960, before the novel was finished so his wife Alma completed it.

He died while writing chapter five. Alma began writing in October 1960. She had helped research and plot all the novels in the saga so the task was relatively easy. "All the main characters were there," she said. "All I had to do was finish the story... Probably my husband would have finished it differently. But I don't think he would disapprove of what I've done."
