AbstractHistoryArchive Description
When a bargeman is caught stealing from a storeowner in the township of Wantamboon, between Bourke and Wilcannia, he is summarily punished rather than incur the expenses of a trial. Takes place in December 1879 when the Darling is in flood and an Adelaide steamer and barge are collecting wool bales as cargo. Strong current of authentic reminiscence. (PB)
