On the Wool Track (Classic Reprint) Paperback -

From the publisher

Excerpt from On the Wool Track The wool industry turns out wool and meat and tallow and glue and cold cream, and many other things. But the most important things it turns out are men. And so the articles dealt with men. They followed down the long wool track from the paddock to the loom, the industry which is the chief training of Australians, mostly through the country where that life is most typical. That is the red country. Floods come once in a way. They are hardly typical of the red country. But the drought is. When we Australians have sung our blue skies and soft airs, our sea beaches and gardens and fruits, our short toil and long pleasure, perhaps we shall some day sit down and praise our droughts. Australians owe more to the droughts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
