WORK IN THE COUNTRY
TO TRI 8SIT0&. Sir,— With reference to 'A (Working Man's Wife's" letter in The Post, I should like to say a few words myself as to that particular bush camp. I don't know what a chap wants. I was working up there myself. The camp is only eight mile? from the coach, and if we only got wild pigs there are plenty of deer. Of course, the men who work in the bush don't look for milk. When a man goes up country he must not think he is going to get a feather bed. There is a cook in the camp, and always plenty of "tucker," and the creek wasn't far away —what more could a man want? A good open life and a good dip in the creek. I am not a country man myself, but 1 like the country. Since I have been in town I have had a look round the wharves, and I know there is nothing there to attract one.-^-I , am, eUi, . HOME BOY.
