Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed account of the author's journey as he experiences life on an Australian cattle station. Coming from a wealthy and privileged background, he attempts to navigate the complexities of the station's daily routine, grappling with the realities of menial labour and the harsh Australian environment. His interactions with the station's hands and their unique perspectives expose him to the frontier ethos and the struggles of men eking out a living in the unforgiving outback. Amidst the challenges he faces, he encounters distinctive characters, from the pragmatic and often-sardonic stockmen to a gifted rabbitter with a surprising secret. Through these interactions and his own experiences, the author explores themes of identity, class, and the search for meaning in a land of contradictions and contrasts.

It draws on his experiences of Station work and as a jackeroo. His early work tend to show him as an amused apologist for Australia but his more mature works show a more matter of fact Australian identity and in the 1920s and 1930s he began more heavily involved in the Australian literary scene, working with and befriending the likes of Miles Franklin, Dorothea Mackeller and Frank Clune, becoming an overpowering presence.
