Random Scribblings Reflect A Curious Australian Page
Among scattered notes the writer paints scenes of a thirsty town without drink on the Sabbath, mocks newspaper ethics, warns of accidents from reckless behavior, and recalls quirky local tales. It cites aldermen, a self-made Scot Sir John Lee, and a curious anecdote about grassfed sheep and a knife and fork remark.
