Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed account of the author's journey as he experiences life on an Australian cattle station. Coming from a wealthy and privileged background, he attempts to navigate the complexities of the station's daily routine, grappling with the realities of menial labour and the harsh Australian environment. His interactions with the station's hands and their unique perspectives expose him to the frontier ethos and the struggles of men eking out a living in the unforgiving outback. Amidst the challenges he faces, he encounters distinctive characters, from the pragmatic and often-sardonic stockmen to a gifted rabbitter with a surprising secret. Through these interactions and his own experiences, the author explores themes of identity, class, and the search for meaning in a land of contradictions and contrasts. In capturing the beauty and brutality of rural Australia, this book provides an insightful portrait of a bygone era, shedding light on the social and cultural values that shaped a nation.

Wenz, born in Rheims, France in 1869, to an affluent merchant family; but the world of European Business didn't suit and he left Europe for Australia in the mid 1890s, settling in New South Wales. His writing career, often revealing of the bush life he adopted, began in 1900 with the publication of short stories written in French but set in Australia. This novella, published in 1908, was his only work written in English and preceded his first novel The Sundowner, which was published in Paris in 1923. It draws on his experiences of Station work and as a jackeroo. His early work tend to show him as an amused apologist for Australia but his more mature works show a more matter of fact Australian identity and in the 1920s and 1930s he began more heavily involved in the Australian literary scene, working with and befriending the likes of Miles Franklin, Dorothea Mackeller and Frank Clune, becoming an overpowering presence. This works are revealing of the Australia and the Australian way of life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A very hard to find title.
