Some time ago, I came across a piece of work by the great A. B. "Banjo" Paterson, but I lost the link. Now many years down the track, I've again stumbled upon it. It's a wonderful chapter called An Unknown Celebrity, which features in the Happy Dispatches. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. http://www.telelib.com/authors/P/PatersonAB_Banjo/prose/HappyDispatches/chapter08.html
That's a fabulous read Cyc - love the way he captures that turn-of-the-century empire feeling. Many thanks for posting, must read more
