Good reading if you're having a hard time growing food in your garden. Descriptions of ploughing with a single furrow plough and a horse, grubbing mallee stumps and picking stones.
"People are prophising a dry season. We have only had light rains, and things will prove most disarstrous in the extreme. The farmers cant see the folly of carrying all their eggs in one basket, for they depend solely on wheat. I don't know, though, what else will grow in this arid climate." William Stagg, June 5th, 1885.
