Excerpt from Under the Street Lamp: Vignettes of Australian Bush Life Much of the literature dealing with Australian bush life has represented, and for the most part, faithfully, the rougher, and it may be said the coarser and lower, elements in the charac ter of the back-blocks worker. But every one who knows the true Australian bushman knows that he has another side. Against the almost universal indulgence in drink, gambling, profanity, and general rowdyism, must be placed many noble characteristics.

Excerpt from In the Australian Bush Much however, that I experienced and observed during my travels is ill-adapted to that work, which appeals exclusively to the professed naturalist. Many occasional observations concerning animals and plants, countries and their inhabitants, and the impres sions produced by the sight of the Australian Bush, the Coral Islands of Torres Straits, the tropical charms of New Guinea, Java, and Amboyna, as well as a general picture of that far Australian world, its continents and islands, could only find expression in the freer and more popular form of a book of travel. Thus it is that this simple narrative, which perchance may offer some special in terest to the naturalist, is intended for the reader who likes to aecom pany a traveller to foreign shores and nations; for him who does not mind entering into his labours and worries, but who, on the other hand, may perhaps find pleasure in sharing his delight in nature and in human life, a delight awaiting any one happy enough to behold those glorious regions with clear eyes and a responsive mind. The illustrations accompanying my account are, with a very few exceptions, originals reproduced from my own photographs of people and landscapes, whilst the animals have been drawn by Mr. A. Giltsch from specimens brought home by me. My photographic apparatus, bought in Europe, having failed after a few months, I was forced to content myself with an old camera, which I purchased from a man who acted as blacksmith, watchmaker, and photographer to a small Queensland settlement. This purchase I have come to regard as a thorough piece of good luck, since it alone enabled me to produce illustrations at all, be they ever so inferior in quality.

Excerpt from A Voice From the Australian Bush Having, at different times of my life, so far forgotten myself as to perpetrate rhymes on various subjects, I like others afflicted with the same incurable malady, became desirous that I should not be the only sufferer, so, inflicted a small edition on my friends, the people of South Australia; and the critics of the said Province having been very merciful, (i was going to say just and merciful) and the public most easy to please, why, the book sold, and I (being reinforced by a friend who understands punctuation, and is a severe, though kindly critic) furbished up some of the old poems, and made some new ones, and I now offer the same to be properly cut up by the critics, if it will give them any satisfaction to do so and, thereafter to be perused with all sorts of sensations, by more unsophisticated readers who desire to see things described as they are, and to understand what they read. As what is pleasant and nutritious pabulum to one, is poison to another, I have ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous, so as to have a plum for all who investigate my pudding.

Excerpt from John Webb's End: Australian Bush Life The officer in command of the detachment was an acquaintance, stood on the outskirts, watching with a certain interest. Presently passers-by and street-loafers, coming up stragglingly, more or less surrounded him. The detachment went bending round a corner a little way off, and then the last man disappeared. The gentleman turned to one side rather quickly with a smile and an exclamation to himself, and felt a tug at his fob. He at once looked down, at the same time receiving from behind a shove that threw him up against a man who was standing in front of him. In a moment it flashed across the gentleman's mind that he had been robbed, and his one idea was to see and catch the robber He recovered himself and turned round sharply. A few yards from him he saw moving quickly away out of the slowly dispersing crowd, a tall man With broad sloping shoulders and a slouch hat.

Excerpt from An Australian Bush Track The shadows of a summer evening were lengthening across one of the lower reaches of the Brisbane. It had been an exceptionally high tide, and the great stretch of water, dotted here and there with mangrove islands, was almost level with the river banks.

Excerpt from Harry Heathcote of Gangoil: A Tale of Australian Bush Life I hate old Bates, said the wife. He always prophesies evil, and complains about his rations. He knows more about sheep than any man this side of the Mary, said her hus band. From all this I trust the reader will understand that the Christmas to which he is introduced is not the Christmas with which he is intimate on this Side of the Equator - a Christmas of blazing fires in doors, and of sleet and snow and frost outside - but the Christmas of Australia, in which happy land the Christmas fires are apt to be lighted, or to light them selves, when they are by no means needed.

Excerpt from Wild Life and Adventure in the Australian Bush, Vol. 1 of 2: Four Years' Personal Experience Should the following pages, which are based on my four years' experience of work in the Bush, induce some of the sons of the Mother Country to carry their education, their intelli gence, their energy, and their capital to Queens land, to lay the foundation of the new Empire of the English-speaking race in the Southern Hemisphere, my efforts to depict the country as I found it will have availed something.

Excerpt from Tarragal: Or Bush Life in Australia The following little work on Australian Bush-life was undertaken by me for the purpose of whiling away the lonely evening hours spent in a bush-hut in north-west Australia whilst engaged in forming a new sheep-station in that isolated portion of Her Majesty's dominions. I do not claim any special merit for the work; but as many of the characters and scenes are taken from life, I trust they will be found interesting to many young readers in the Northern as well as in the Southern Hemisphere.
