Annie, I'm alone. Harry has gone west. He went to the new paddock to start placing wire netting around it but didn't return by supper. I was worried, but there was no point in looking for him in the dark. As soon as day broke, I headed out in the lorry to where I thought he would be. And there he was, sitting against the dray, a wry smile on his poor weathered face. He had been bitten by a tiger snake, the battered and beheaded remains of the accursed viper at his feet. It looked like he took out the years of frustration this blighted land had thrown at us onto the creature.

His wound was incised and cleansed and a ligature applied, but I'll never know why he didn't come home. Maybe he wanted to save me the pain of watching him pass in agony.

I buried him there. He mostly loved this land as much as I hate it, and always believed that we could have a good life here. Harry was always an optimist.

I didn't love him like I loved you, Annie, but I did care for him deeply. We have gone through so much together, and I don't know what I will do now.

I'm not one for tears. The only time I've cried since childhood is when Matron drew me to one side and told me you had succumbed to pneumonia. I wish I could have done something more than just watching you be evacuated to London for care. My heart crumbled at the news, and it still aches. Harry's passing just brought it all to the surface again.

I visited the Police and informed the Sergeant what had ...
    ... happened to Harry. He asked his wife to come in and make me a cup of tea while he made enquiries about what to do. The conclusion was that even though I wasn't a doctor, my medical background gave my story credibility. Plus, I dumped the horrid beast on his desk in a hessian bag.

I sent his parents a telegram and followed up with a letter with more detail about what had happened.

Harry's parents have agreed that he should remain interred here. I've marked his grave with white stones from the seemingly abandoned station site, and I made a headstone out of timber planks. It's the best I can do.

I'm so sorry Harry.

Those unfeeling, money grubbing bastards. All sympathy to my face, but they still are holding the £1700 we owe over my head. The Lands commission has also asked when do I plan to leave my house as they plan to allow my neighbours to take it over!

And what do I get? Nothing. Not a farthing for all the back breaking work we put in to make this miserable land give a pittance back.

I sold the lorry and paid my debt to the grocer. He has been one of the few to show me true sympathy. The rest can go to hell. Not that they have to go far.

I'm trapped in Purgatory. I barely have the money for the fare back to Melbourne, and what will I do when I get there, Annie? So many hopes and dreams of so many people here blown away like a politician's promise. My heart fractured in France, and this ...
