I like unpretentious Australian literature, especially when it reflects the character of the people. Direct as children, hefty men miners are ready to collect horizontal experience in the bar, and in skirmishes, and at impromptu betting, but in serious decisions they always choose the right one. And they put up a monument not to the discoverer, but to the dog, because they also know how to be friends and love, and in this they are equally with her.
‘He is very imprudent, a dog; he never makes it his business to inquire whether you are in the right or the wrong, never asks whether you are rich or poor, silly or wise, sinner or saint. You are his pal. That is enough for him’. (Jerome K. Jerome)
