Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales and Trails: Of Austral Bush and Plain The continual dropping of small globules of water will wear away the hardest of stones. Prolonged gales from any point of the compass cause trees to have a bend in a certain direction. Just so. Years of hints and urgings from the hearers of my talks and lectures have succeeded in disintegrating the barriers and given me a bend towards authorship. Some great writer declared that greatness was thrust upon some people. Authorship has been forced on me. To please my many friends in all the States, I send this little book forth. I do so without the slightest claim to literary gifts; but with a strong desire that it will help to counteract the vile caricatures of Australian bush people too prevalent to-day. Also that this book will lead others to think more highly of our grand and glorious Great Australia. This first attempt at book writing has shown me the unlimited amount of material we have in this Giant Island for such books as "Tales and Trails."
