Such is Life, Rigby's Romance and The Buln-buln and the Brolga: Being Certain Extracts from the Diary of Tom Collins

Written by Joseph Furphy, widely regarded as the "Father of the Australian novel", this volume brings together for the first time in one volume the three parts of his major work Such is Life. Described at the time of first publication as an "Australian classic", this book is a fictional account of the life of rural dwellers, including bullock drivers, squatters and itinerant travellers, in southern New South Wales and Victoria, during the 1880s, based largely upon the author's real life adventures.
The thee books consolidated here are Such is Life, Rigby's Romance and The Buln-buln and the Brolga.
