Excerpt from A Sydney-Side Saxon
It's pretty well known through the country that the old gentleman rose up by degrees like - had to work for wages when he first came to the country, like many another good man; but, instead of spending his money as soon as he got it, saved it for the start, bought a few cattle or sheep, and picked up a block of country here and there for a trifle, gradually doing better and better, through dealing a bit now and then, and using his brains as well as his four bones.
