Not overlliisli with money, made the road trouble a very real one indeed, and made the Winter season in Gippsland often very trying; but always when one felt one conld not stand it any longer, the change into Spring, with the luxuriant growth of rich grasses covering the hills as far as the eve could reach with a l^eautiful verdure, caused the dullness and trials of the Winter to pass quickly from th...e mind for at least a season. Our country was what is generally known as' big spar country. It cost from '20/- to 25/- an acre to cut down, and anywhere from £3 to £5/10/- to pick up and burn off. And for one piece the writer paid £7/10/- an acre. Although most of our timber was of the spar or medium sized tree type, occasionally very large trees indeed were found.
