Excerpt from Three Diggers a Tale of the Australian Fifties When I committed my first infant to the care of its literary nurses, my parental anxiety was assuaged and I reassured by the kind words of critics, amateur and professional.

Conceived in that land of the sunny South where the scene is placed, the story had originally no further motive than the somewhat unobtrusive one summed up in the old adage, "Man proposes, but God disposes.'' Though "Temptations sore long time he bore, " the writer stood proof in his original intention, and while on the one hand it is not his desire to obtrude the moral, he trusts that some grains of amusement, if nought else, may be gathered by young and old from the following pages.
