"An Outback Marriage: A Story of Australian Life" by A. B. Paterson is a novel likely written in the late 19th century, capturing the essence of life in the Australian Outback. The narrative introduces a cast of characters, including the well-connected but discontented members of the Cassowary Club in Sydney and a newcomer, Carew, who is seeking the bush experience in a land characterized by both hardship and camaraderie. At the start of the story, readers are drawn into an oppressive summer evening at the Cassowary Club, where members engage in lively conversation while awaiting the arrival of the new Englishman, Jim Carew. Among the three primary members waiting for him—“The Bo’sun,” the lawyer Pinnock, and globetrotter Gillespie—their discussions reveal their disdain for the unfamiliar “new chum” culture and set the stage for Carew's entry into their world. The growing anticipation culminates as Carew arrives and is quickly assessed by the boisterous men, while another character, Charlie Gordon, enters, promising to take Carew on a rugged trip through the Outback, suggesting an adventure filled with camaraderie and potential danger.
