Crow and Crows in a Remote Australian Pastoral Tale
A fragmented Australian reminiscence describes brutal scenes of lambs attacked by crows on a distant station near the Marcusun goldfields. The narrator recalls a violent rambling day, the old station man’s fits of rage, and the grim tally of mutilated lambs. He notes crows’ alleged bloodlust, claims about crow behavior, and social superstition naming the crow Satan. Observations mix harsh pastoral detail with moralizing tone on the birds and human reactions.
