Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Not Counting the Cost A great paddock, full of scattered haycocks, sloping down to a rough mountain road that leads in its turn through straggling outskirts to a town lying in a hollow. Beyond the town, the shining, sparkling waters of a broad blue harbour, hedged round by purple mountains. The bright summer air of Christmas week at the Antipodes resting upon the scene; and such a radiance of light shed over it by the afternoon sun that no human eye can gaze upon it unblinking for long. This is the setting in which the town of Hobart, the capital of the far Southern island of Tasmania, lies between the mountains and the sea. The sloping hay-pad-dock, with the cottage above it, whence a full view of the sparkling harbour below and of mighty Mount Wellington on high - solemn guardian of the town - may be best obtained, is the home of the Clare family, residents of Cowa, a rambling property perched on the flanks of one of the abrupt hills clustered round Mount Wellington as children cluster round the knees of their father. When we see it first, the paddock is not left to the undisturbed possession of its haycocks. A tribe of young people, varying from the irresponsible age of the units to that of full-fledged teens, are running wild over it in the most literal sense of the term.
