W. Bryde, Charles W. L. From Chart House to Bush Hut Being the Record of a Sailor's 7 Years in the Queensland Bush From Chart House to Bush Hut Being the Record of a Sailor's Seven Years in the Queensland Bush E-text prepared by Nick Wall and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "From Chart House to Bush Hut" by C. W. Bryde is a memoir detailing the author’s seven transformative years spent in the Queensland bush, written in the early 20th century. The narrative shares his transition from a sailor enduring the grueling routines of maritime life to a landholder grappling with the challenges of rural living. The book reflects on themes of perseverance, the trials of pioneering, and a deep appreciation for the Australian landscape, as Bryde recounts his experiences and insights into bush life. The opening of the memoir introduces the reader to Bryde's life at sea, vividly describing a particularly monotonous coal run between Newcastle and Valparaiso. Through detailed observations, he paints a picture of the relentless life on a ship, battling both the physical demands of maritime work and the psychological toll of isolation. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that Bryde longs for a break from the sea's drudgery, culminating in his decision to settle in Australia, where he envisions a new life filled with promise amidst the scrublands. His first chapters set a tone of longing for freedom and adventure while hinting at the trials that await him in his pursuit of a new beginning in the bush.
