AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A city dweller, Jack, travels to outback New South Wales for a holiday in the summer of 1860. He enjoys the outdoor life, is chased by a wild bull and breaks his arm, and recovers in a shepherd's hut where he is visited by two women in what he thinks is a dream. The story ends with his marriage to one of them, the beautiful Ethel Halstead, and his metamorphosis into a squatter.' (PB)
