Notes

  • These verses originally appeared in the New South Wales Pocket Almanack (1809), which was compiled and printed by George Howe, who was possibly the author of the verses. 'General instructions in gardening, agriculture, and the care of sheep ... is apparently the first long poem published in Australia' - Introd.
