The Argentine had very poor crops in 1916 and 1917, and although the 1918 crop is good, it is scarcely more available to Europe than Australia's wheat. A glance at the map shows why wheat for Europe should come from North America rather than from Australia or India, or even the Argentine.
There has always been a feeling, amongst the older troops here, that they have been holding the fort hanging on for Australia's name until the others have time to come along and give them a hand.
He was once modest, even diffident; but he lost all that when he found out that he was Australia's sole musical bird. He has talent, and cuteness, and impudence; and in his tame state he is a most satisfactory pet never coming when he is called, always coming when he isn't, and studying disobedience as an accomplishment.
I've had my spell of roughing it droving, mining, pioneering humping bluey along the track stoney-broke: sold up by the bank and only just beginning now to find out what Australia's worth. 'That's what I said you are just beginning. Roughing it has made a splendid man of you, Colin: and who would ever believe that you are four years older than I am. Colin, you ought to get married.
The story of the Birkenhead has always been considered the highest illustration of discipline and steadiness in the face of death evinced by any troops, but the citizen-soldiers from the young Australian democracy have in this war given on two occasions proof that they possessed the same qualities. The Southland has been written in letters of gold on the pages of Australia's history.
I can recall how a morning broke for me once which was the morning of a kind of freedom almost appalling to the child of cities.

Australia's leading player, Gerald Patterson, is one of the most remarkable combinations of tennis virtues and tennis faults, I have ever seen. Patterson has a wonderful service. He has speed, direction, control, and all kinds of twist. He hits his service consistently hard and puts it in. His overhead is the most remarkable in the game. He can kill from any place in the court.
To Australia's fair-haired maidens We will bid our last good-bye. We are going home to England, We may never more see you. Rolling home, rolling home, Rolling home across the sea, Rolling home to merry England, Rolling home dear land to thee. We will leave you our best wishes As we leave your rocky shores, We are going home to England, We may never see you more. Rolling home....
There are several other parishes in the suburbs of Sydney. A third new church is likewise mentioned, among those in progress at Sydney, in the Bishop of Australia's Charge, delivered in 1841. It may be noticed, that the sum mentioned applies only to stipends and allowances of the Clergy, and does not include sums voted for building purposes.
The last stage of Australia's history was about to set in; the telegraph wire was soon to follow on Stuart's footsteps, and the ring of communication to be nearly completed around the continent.
