Excerpt from Norah Conough In a certain part of the Eastern Land Division of New South Wales stood a hut, new and substantial, on a prettily timbered ridge. The style of architecture was (with apologies) of the Spartan period. A squat chimney - the lower part slabs lined with brick-shaped pieces of earth, the upper galvanized iron - occupied the greater part of one end. The floor was of earth, the roof of bark, and the walls were slab. Of the two rooms, one, by reason of its pair of bunks, chest of drawers and looking glass, was distinguishable as a bedroom, though such a room does not usually contain a pack-saddle, crosscut saw, or maul and wedges. In the other room a safe, with bits of opossum skin round the legs, fur outwards, as a protection from ants, broke the monotony of one wall, a frying pan, aided by a couple of saddles, guns, and wire dish covers, adorned another.
