From Chart House to Bush Hut - Being the Record of a Sailor's 7 Years in the Queensland Bush

The idea in mind is to present, as far as possible, a true picture of life in the Scrub, as I had experienced it. With this end in view, I have neither glossed over the difficulties and disabilities, nor enlarged on the advantages, of selection life in the Scrublands. I have tried to make the book a fairly reliable and interesting guide to anyone thinking of tackling the life. With what success I leave the reader to determine.

Our steamer was fairly fast for a tramp, and we were twenty-four days on the Eastbound trip and twenty-seven back to Newcastlecoal one way and ballast back. Not a solitary sail nor point of land to break the dreary monotony of grey sea and greyer sky, clear across to Valparaiso5000 miles. Following the Great Circle track, you get down to 53 degrees or 54 degrees south latitude. In winter it's coldblowing a gale pretty well all the timeand your ship's like a half-tide rock. In summer pretty much the same conditions prevail, with fog added. Occasionally there is a day when it's not blowingthen it rains. And there's ice to be looked out for at this time of the year, too, which is an added pleasantry. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
