This revised manuscript, which was finished in 1950, is being published in 1977 to commemorate the Centenary of the first settlement of Mareeba and Mossman areas. Reprinted with sequel 1998." -- This book is a biographical account of pioneering life in North Queensland, combining a classic early 20th-century memoir by C.W.L. (Charles) Bryde with a 1998 sequel written by his son, Jack Bryde. It chronicles the family's transition from maritime life to the challenges of carving a living out of the Australian tropical rainforest. Originally published in 1920, this section serves as a "record of a sailor's seven years in the Queensland bush". Charles Bryde, a sailor who had faced Cape Horn in full-rigged ships, left the sea in 1912 at age 27 to become a "land-lubber" in Australia. With only an axe and no prior experience, he tackled the dense rainforest of the Atherton Tableland. He details the physical and psychological toll of clearing the "scrub," surviving cyclones, flooding rain, and fire to establish a dairy farm. Finding he had a talent for writing, Charles later became the editor of an Atherton newspaper before moving his family to Mossman to start his own publication. "Under the Heights of Victory" continues the family narrative through the next generation, focusing on life in the 1930s. Jack Bryde describes his youth in Mossman starting around 1932. The sequel documents Jack's entry into the tobacco farming industry at Mareeba. -- "This is two books in one - the continuing story of a remarkable man, a true pioneer of the North, Charlie Bryde. His son, Jack, has continued where his father left off in the original "From Chart House to Bush Hut". As the title suggests, Charles Bryde was a sailor. What courage he must have had when, as a teenager, he faced Cape Horn in the full-rigged ships of 1902. Exhibiting some of the same courage he left England in 1912 and tackled the standing rainforest of the Atherton Tableland with only an axe, which as a new chum he had not used before. Nothing daunted him - impenetrable tropical jungle, cyclone, fire, and flooding rain. He succeeded in carving a successful dairy farm, as others were doing at that time, out of the virgin jungle. He married and raised a family and found he had a talent for journalism which caused him to obtain an easier living as editor of the Atherton newspaper in the 1920s. Charles left this security and with the same courage that he displayed when he tackled the sea and the jungle, he took his family to Mossman to start a newspaper of his own. His son, Jack, carries on the family story in the sequel, "Under the Heights of Victory". Jack also describes his young days in Mossman in 1932 and his entry into industry as a tobacco farmer at Mareeba. Jack and his wife, Claire, still live on the same farm, at Granite Creek Gorge, Mareeba.".…
