To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whenever there was a slack time I used to send it down to Port Mackay for a load, but it was a horrid fraud. The bullocks were good enough, but it was impossible to get a decent man to drive them. A man who drives his own bullocks is lazy enough, but a man who drives someone else's is simply the in- carnation of idleness. I had several drivers one after the other, but it was always the same old game. When they were at home they used to swear they had lost the bullocks, having, of course, " plan...ted " them up some obscure creek, and if they were sent on the road they always got on the spree. I was very glad when Dick Absolon offered to take THE FOUNDATIONS OP THE MILL. 243 the team off my hands, and to contract for the work about the place. I had a lot of trouble in getting sound trees for the bed-logs of my machinery. There was any amount of timber about the place, but it takes a good tree to square twenty-four inches for a length of twenty feet, because most Queensland trees, when they get to a certain size, get a pipe in the middle, and I would not stand anything that was not perfectly solid.
