Style was definitely lacking. Did not stand the test of time. But interesting to read a view of Australian colonial settlement. ( )

On Our New Selection - found as an ebook online. A continuation of the On Our Selection short stories of life as farmers on new land in Australia in the late 1800s/early 1900s.
Written as humour, the stories now provide a glimpse of what life might have been like in the bush at the time. ( )

This compilation contains only 14 stories out of the original 44 (26 in 'On Our Selection' and 18 in 'Our New Selection'), so I'd recommend finding a more complete one. The foreword by W.E. FitzHenry is interesting though (dating I think from 1953).
