Paterson's vivid descriptions of the landscape and the characters who inhabit it bring the story to life, making it a must-read for anyone who loves Australian literature or tales of adventure and romance.They drove through a rickety wire-and-sapling gate and across about a mile of bush, and suddenly came on a little slab house nestling under the side of a hill. At the back were the stockyards and the killing-pen, where a contrivance for raising dead cattle -- called a gallows -- waved its arms to the sky. In front of the house there was rather a nice little garden.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
