A playful verse questions the lodger who disturbs neighbors with a horn at ghostly hours, loud operatic singing, and noisy shows. It asks who fills the house with uproar from dawn to night, and who finally provokes the pious neighbor with hiccups and unrest.
A misty poem narrates a child’s evening view from a chamber window. It describes hills, orchards, woodlands, and valleys bathed in sunlit rain, with gardens and a future scene of children headed toward the morning schoolhouse.
A quirky fragment showcases satirical quips about fame, poetry, publics, and vanity. It pounces on literary self doubt and public judgment with puns about balloons, sailors, and ballads, ending mid thought with a Western railroad scene mention.
The controversial land scheme aims to please both squatters and working men, with squatters allowed to hold runs and a ten year suspense on subdivision. It grants five year occupancy revaluations, ties rent payments to purchase, and tightens selectors' terms to curb speculation while promising reforms to board powers and the land act.
An account of tents set near the Orara River in New South Wales describes twilight, river views, and cedar and gura forests. The narrator warns campers not to rely on rotten logs for firewood as they may shelter dangerous creatures including snakes, centipedes, scorpions, and tarantulas.
Four men on a shooting and fishing excursion recount a night camp by a fire as nocturnal sounds fill the woods. A rotten log holds a black snake that inches toward a sleeper, prompting a tense struggle to kill the reptile. The narrative blends fear, bush lore, and reminiscence of early colony days.
The Barb, described as the equine wonder and largest star of colonial turf, is said to have finished his career. Considered the best bred south of the line and perhaps superior to many in Britain, his retirement merits notice in this era’s racing circles.
