On The Track is a novel written by Australian author Henry Lawson. The book is a collection of short stories that explore the harsh realities of life in the Australian outback during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The stories are based on Lawson's own experiences as a drover, and they paint a vivid picture of the hardships faced by those who lived and worked in the rugged and unforgiving bushland. The characters in the book are drawn from all walks of life, from shearers and stockmen to swagmen and bushrangers. Lawson's writing is known for its vivid descriptions of the Australian landscape and its people, and this book is no exception. The stories are full of colourful characters and vivid imagery, and they provide a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era.Overall, On The Track is a classic work of Australian literature that is still widely read and admired today. It offers a unique perspective on the Australian outback and the people who lived there, and it is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of this fascinating country.. Besides, extended time was expiring, and the contractors were in a hurry to complete the line. But the Government inspector was a reserved man who poked round on his independent own and appeared in lonely spots at unexpected times -- with apparently no definite object in life -- like a grey kangaroo bothered by a new wire fence, but unsuspicious of the presence of humans. He wore a grey suit, rode, or mostly led, an ashen-grey horse; the grass was long and grey, so he was seldom spotted until he was well within the horizon and bearing leisurely down on a party of sub-contractors, leading his horse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
