Such Is Life chronicles the meandering experiences of Tom Collins, a government official, as he traverses the Riverina district of New South Wales in the late 19th century. This seminal work of Australian literature presents a vivid, often satirical, portrait of bush life, illustrating the stoicism and eccentricities of its inhabitants. Through a series of interconnected anecdotes and philosophical digressions, the narrative argues for a unique Australian identity shaped by the harsh yet beautiful landscape. The prose is rich with wit and irony, offering a profound meditation on fate, human nature, and the challenges of colonial existence.
