AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Three 'colonial experience' men on a Murrumbidgee sheep station around 1870 have their distaste for a woman's visit changed when she is young and pretty. The rivalry and successful courtship of the narrator revolve around the station and the main steeplechase event at the annual Wantabadgeree Races. An ill-timed proposal and the sight of a rival's attentions during the race coincide to create a fall - but a letter speeds the recovery. (PB)
