Here are two very different aspects of early 20th century Australia.  The Poor Parson tells of the misfortunes of a Presbyterian minister in a bush parish – the day a goanna ran up his leg; his financial embarrassment when his stipend is not forthcoming; of the sudden disappearance of his church and its equally sudden reappearance as someone else’s house…Dad in Politics : A man is wanted who will go to Brisbane  “…’an’ put the sufferances of the farmers plainly – an’ – an’ – well before Parliament – a man who’ll talk t’them an’ – an’ tell ’em what’s right an’ – an’ what ought t’be done.” And no-one can do it better than Dad. Even though he doesn’t know much about Parlimentary protocol he’s determined to have his say! With illustrations by Syd Smith and Harry Julius.
