Land of the Lyre Bird

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In niost Australian settlements a majority of the settlers usually came from the land or had some knowledge of eountrv life, but such was not the case here: a large. Number of them were from the towns - often young people from the families of professional or business men, and with the education habits and general outlook of their class, but with very little of the knowledge required for the life they had chosen. Others agam - working men - came in with little or no capital, depending on the capitalists around them to provide them with the sinews of war in return for services rendered.
