Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the author's seven years of service as a merchant mariner aboard British steamships, traversing the vast Pacific Ocean between Newcastle, Australia, and Chile's Valparaiso port. The author eloquently scribes the monotonous, often perilous, yet awe-inspiring voyages, which served as a backdrop for his eventual decision to abandon sea life for the challenges of land ownership in the Australian bush. This book provides valuable insights into the life of a sailor in the early 20th century, offering adventure, practical experiences, reflections on the human condition, and a profound appreciation for the beauty and harsh realities of the natural world. The author's transformation from ship's officer to pioneering farmer and his experiences as a new chum in the Australian bush will amuse, inform, and inspire readers interested in tales of adventure, personal growth, and the enduring allure of the Australian outback.
