Taken from....

The Women of the West

by George Essex Evans
In the slab-built, zinc-roofed homestead of some lately taken run,
In the tent beside the bankment of the railway just begun,
In the huts on new selections, in the camps of man’s unrest,
On the frontiers of the Nation, live the Women of the West.



Yesterday we visited the slab hut at Ormiston House, Ormiston.
