It was in the brave old days of Ballarat and Bendigo, when ship after ship went out black with passengers and deep with stores, to bounce home with a bale or two of wool, and hardly hands enough to reef topsails in a gale. We have come now out of mere vagueness to the definite conception of an Australian from Ballarat with a grey cloak. I have seen something of the sort on the side of a hill near Ballarat, where the prospectors had been at work. |
