Excerpt from The Opportunity in Australia

Mr. Gullett describes the great pastoral tracts, the wheat districts, the dairying country, the sugar-cane plantations. The agricultural areas, and the opportunities offered by these various industries. I have seen types of all these districts I have had peculiar advantages for seeing them well; and I have no hesitation in saying that he has not painted too rosy a picture. No doubt it will be said against this, Australia is in a special measure given over to droughts, and a man's possessions may be swept away in a very brief space of time.
