Excerpt: ...In awful cataracts, which leap'd Downward from dizzy height, Till soon 'twould reach the spot of ground Where, horror-struck, I glared around Upon the dreadful sight! But now from that volcano vast A roar came down like cyclone blast! I gazed in fresh amaze; For just above the crater's rim Three fearful Phantoms, huge and grim, Were thron'd amid the blaze High on a vast putrescent heap Of ghastly oxen, steeds, and sheep, Which well became the three!

I then perceived, that as they spoke, A name, in flaming letters broke Out on each livid brow; At which the grimmest cried--" Behold! "For to us, all the North is sold--"Our wretched slave art thou! "To me thou dost unwilling pay "A teeming sacrifice each day "Of oxen, steeds, and sheep, "Which these my servants, good and true, "Wring from vile earthworms such as you, "And on mine altars heap.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Webb's End: Australian Bush Life The officer in command of the detachment was an acquaintance, stood on the outskirts, watching with a certain interest. Presently passers-by and street-loafers, coming up stragglingly, more or less surrounded him. The detachment went bending round a corner a little way off, and then the last man disappeared. The gentleman turned to one side rather quickly with a smile and an exclamation to himself, and felt a tug at his fob. He at once looked down, at the same time receiving from behind a shove that threw him up against a man who was standing in front of him. In a moment it flashed across the gentleman's mind that he had been robbed, and his one idea was to see and catch the robber He recovered himself and turned round sharply. A few yards from him he saw moving quickly away out of the slowly dispersing crowd, a tall man With broad sloping shoulders and a slouch hat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harry Heathcote of Gangoil: A Tale of Australian Bush Life I hate old Bates, said the wife. He always prophesies evil, and complains about his rations. He knows more about sheep than any man this side of the Mary, said her hus band. From all this I trust the reader will understand that the Christmas to which he is introduced is not the Christmas with which he is intimate on this Side of the Equator - a Christmas of blazing fires in doors, and of sleet and snow and frost outside - but the Christmas of Australia, in which happy land the Christmas fires are apt to be lighted, or to light them selves, when they are by no means needed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Final Reckoning: A Tale of Bush Life in Australia In this tale I have left the battlefields of history, and have written a story of adventure in Australia, in the early days when the bush-rangers and the natives constituted a real and formidable danger to the settlers. I have done this, not with the intention of extending your knowledge, or even of pointing a moral, although the story is not without one, but simply for a change - a change both for you and myself, but frankly, more for myself than for you.

He generally took refuge from his wife's attacks in its soothing influence. You do, Burton - you know as well as I do.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tarragal: Or Bush Life in Australia The following little work on Australian Bush-life was undertaken by me for the purpose of whiling away the lonely evening hours spent in a bush-hut in north-west Australia whilst engaged in forming a new sheep-station in that isolated portion of Her Majesty's dominions.
