To those sturdy battlers, among whom I have
lived for seven years,
I doff my hat in respect;
and dedicate
My Book
PREFACE.
The idea in mind is to present, as far as possible, a true picture of life in the Scrub, as I had experienced it. With this end in view, I have neither glossed over the difficulties and disabilities, nor enlarged on the advantages, of selection life in the Scrublands. I have tried to make the book a fairly reliable and interesting guide to anyone thinking of tackling the life. With what success I leave the reader to determine.
THE AUTHOR.
"Up North."
