AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Bush tale. Two shearers returning to Victoria from NSW decide to cross a swollen billabong rather than ride 10 miles further to the bridge. One is nearly caught in the reeds but thoughts of his new found love urge him to safety at his last attempt. Sketch-like; characters more important than action. (PB)
