Notes: |
This book is the continuation of Australian pioneer Cuthbert Fetherstonehaugh’s most successful 1918 book ‘After many days’ in which he narrates the tale of the first 35 years of his most remarkable life.
He has long been regarded as a most faithful recorder of early pastoral life in Victoria, the early outback settlements of Queensland and later central NSW. He was a regular contributor to the ‘Australasian Pastoralists Review’ with his many articles on early squatters and pastoralists now so highly valued by historians.
After a financial failing in Queensland, he took up the position as manager of ‘Brookong Station’, then the largest station and run in the Riverina portion of NSW. He then left this position to become a clergyman of the Church of England. This book covers that period.
During his time with the church, he became disenchanted with the Creed and Dogma associated with their form of worship and resigned. He then went back on the land as manager of ‘Canally Station’ near Balranald. After acquiring a portion of the famous ‘Goorianawa’ run near Baradine where he stayed for 19 years, he finally acquired ‘Mungerie’ near Coonamble.
Incorporating "My religious experiences", the second book on the reminiscences of Cuthbert Featherstonhaugh, Australian pioneer.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 169) and index.
