While working as a dairy farmer in the Sunshine Coast hinterland during the 1920s, Jack McKinney began contributing short stories to the popular weekly, the Australian Journal. Drawing on his own experience and sense of humour, he developed these stories into a series, 'According to Noonan', which the Australian Journal published until 1939 and reprised in the 1950s. This article will examine these stories and consider them in relation to McKinney's later life and writing.

奶牛场哲学家：JP McKinney 的“根据 Noonan”的故事和 Ron Campbell 的《澳大利亚日报》

1920 年代，杰克·麦金尼 (Jack McKinney) 在阳光海岸腹地担任奶农时，开始为受欢迎的《澳大利亚日报》(Australian Journal) 撰写短篇小说。凭借自己的经验和幽默感，他将这些故事发展成一个系列“根据努南的说法”，该系列一直出版到 1939 年，并在 1950 年代重新出版。本文将研究这些故事，并将它们与麦金尼的晚年生活和写作联系起来。
