This story explored the dream of many great Australian nation-builders. I am unsure whether all is fact or some fiction, but it made me think. It depicts hard work to accomplish a higher standard of living. There was never any room for complaints, only appreciation and gratitude to be able to work even from an early age. This story bought many a smile regarding the bushman's antics while on a drive OR castrating bulls, then eating the somewhat considered delicacy…. Each character in this story holds a specific personality trait. The two who stood out to me were, Mr. Kidman, who, although a wealthy landowner, never forgot his roots and gave genuine recognition and help to others. Then there was Joe, a similar man who passed along his wisdom and good fortune by assisting those in need of work. There is integrity and excellence throughout this story. I am reminded of the Bible verse, "Without a vision, man doth perish." However, the vision must never sacrifice family love, as memories remain, whereas money cannot be taken to the grave.
