Jack Drew had a bad spree after that; then he went to Sydney again, got on his old paper, went to the dogs, and a Parliamentary push that owned some city fly-blisters and country papers sent him up to edit the 'Advertiser' at two quid a week. He drank again, and no wonder you don't know what it is to run a 'Geebung Advocate' or 'Mudgee Budgee Chronicle', and live there.
I'll ride the blanky horse for a fiver, and I'll feel the blanky quids in my pocket before I get on. Meanwhile the coach had dashed up to the door of the shanty. There were about twenty passengers aboard inside, on the box-seat, on the tail-board, and hanging on to the roof most of them Sydney men going up to the Mudgee races.
In the old days the town had been the terminus of the train, and it had squatted at the foot of the mountains, while strings of teams carried the goods up the great western road out to Bathurst and beyond, to Mudgee, Dubbo, and Orange.
There useter be a teamster's camp six or seven miles out of Mudgee, at a place called th' Old Pipeclay, in the days before the railroad went round to Dubbo, an' most of us bullickies useter camp there for the night.
An', arter that, she 'pounded some of our bullicks that got into her lucerne paddick one night when we was on the spree in Mudgee, an' put heavy damages on 'em. She'd left the sliprails down on purpose, I believe. She talked of puttin' the police onter us, jest as if we was a sly-grog shop.
