AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Two young men, cousins, emigrate from England to Victoria and travel to a cattle station on the Goulburn River for 'colonial experience' before buying a station of their own. Aboriginal attacks on cattle cause one of the cousins to ride to a neighbour for advice. The appearance of his ghost causes his cousin, the narrator, to ride after him. He discovers the body pressed through the heart by a spear. He collapses, and recovers from an attack of brain fever to the horror of reality. Slight emphasis on the existence of ghosts despite all rational explanations. (PB)
