Ridiculous Tales From a Distant Outback Locale
A garbled 1900s clipping blends anecdotes and local color about Crick leaving a dock, a calf birth abroad, a missionary attacked by a ram, borderlife marriages, shipments of information from Parramatta, and a police anecdote about watering one’s gin. It also notes political chatter on New England electorates and a magistrates court extradition appeal, all in a rough, satirical newspaper tone.
