1 Shadow and Sunlight Stockman , 1894 single work short story
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , July vol. 29 no. 350 1894; (p. 605-607) Gippsland tale of a brickworks owner's financial ruin through a bank closure and the faithful love of a school teacher at a government bush school. She marries him despite his own and her father's financial collapse. Prosperity follows them on to their farm. [Longwood; Wild Dog Creek - true towns in Gippsland?] Oddly disjointed narrative: rich landscape descriptions and a blurred plot. Includes scenes at a closed brick works; outside the collapsed bank; on the farm where the bush teacher resides; on a country wedding at Longwood. Touches of rustic simplicity and humour. (PB)

— Appears in: The Australian Journal , April vol. 28 no. 335 1893; (p. 458-460) Tragedy in the Bunyip Hotel on the Melbourne-Sale track in 1869 and the middle 70s.

Warm tale of simple people and human charity. Purportedly true; includes visit to 'Little Jim' in mid-70s. (PB)
