A Disturbed Night.
A Parson’s Work in Queensland.
VICAR OF TOSSIDE’S FASCINATING TALK TO ROTARIANS.
THRILLS IN THE BUSH.
ENCOUNTERS WITH FRILLED L IZARD AND NATIVE WILD CAT.
The life of a parson in the Queensland
Hush ” was the title of a fascinating iddress to members of Clitheroe llotnry Club
yesterday, by the Bov. H. Isherwood, Vicar of Tossidc. The President (Dr. C. dc L.
Shortt) presided over a good attendance. Mr. Isherwood said people in the Old
Country had no real conception of the size of Australia. A lot of people imagined that Australia was a sort of Isle of Man at the other end of the world. On one occasion a
woman, knowing that he had been out to Australia, asked him if ho met their “ John Willie ” whilst he was there. By question
ing, lio^ discovered where John Willie had made his home and found it was nine days and nine nights on the train, and a son voyage involving three weeks, from the part of Queensland where he had worked. In Australia tho seasons and tho climatic con ditions wore reversed. One did not speak of the sunny south hut of the sunny north,
for the further north one went the nearer one got to the equator. Ilis first Christmas in Australia was somewhat disconcerting. Christmas falls in mid-summer and as he and his wife tried to preserve the Christmas atmosphere with English Christmas fare in n temperature of 103 in the shade, they found that their enthusiasm began to wane before
the.meal, which included Christmas pudding, was finished. A little hoy arrived eventually with a hilly can, saving his mother asked them if they would care to try tho contents. The hilly can contained ire cream, which was most welcome, and over after, ice cream formed an important part of their Christmas dinner.
Where You Never Die ! ^ It was about 5.000 miles across the Con
tinent of Australia, and it seemed truly ridiculous that in all that enormous area there should he a population something less than that on London. And the distribu tion of the population, too, appeared absurd for cities like Sydney and Melbourne each had at least a million inhabitants, and the heaviest population was concentrated on the eastern sea-hoard. The rest of the country averaged about ono and a half persons to the square mile, and one could sometimes travel a hundred miles without meeting a soul. The climate in Queensland on tho whole was good. When he travelled through Sydney on the way to Queensland, people there spoke with hated breath of North Queensland, describing it as the black fellows’ country and a place where a white man should not go, much less a white woman. Rut ho found that a great many white people were living there happily and comfortably. It all depended upon what one ate and wore. It could he extremely hot and humid at times, and the Bishop of Queensland summed it all up ns “ Tit winter climate is perfect; the summer, tolerable. There are had patches when you think vou arc going to die. hut you never do."
Tn North Queensland there was a very
substantial industry of sugar cane grow ing, and not only was (hero a very great quantity of sugar canc grown hut it was grown by white men. It was the only sugar cane grown in the world hv white labour. In ono of his parishes there were three >sugnr crushing mills and in each 200,1100 tons were crushed every season.
Parish of 5,000 Square Miles. The diuce&c of the Dishop of Queensland
HARGREAVES B r o s . GREAT
was big enough to absorb the British Isles, and his own parish, Mr. Isherwood said, was 5,U00 square miles in extent. hi his first parish he spent threo hectic but very in teresting years trying to minister to people scattered over that huge area. There was one town which had from 1,800 to 2,000 in habitants. Out there, towns were known by the number of public-houses the.v had. liis was known as a “ three pub town " and later he received substantial promotion to a ‘ ‘ seven pub town,” which was about equivalent to an English Archdeaconry.— (Laughter.)—In the sugar belt, there was considered to bo fairly close settlement hut to a Hush parson trying to reach every homestead, it seemed to bo the maximum dispersion of population one could imagine. One had often to travel 20 miles between two houses and it was possible for one’s car to break down 10 miles from anywhere. Under those circumstances, one had to exer cise great ingenuity. He used to get Ids car to go by sheer will power. To this day lie did not know anything about tho inside of a car. If she broke down, lie. got
out to humour her, squirmed underneath, ‘ Come along, it is time we got o n ’—and
on they went. Tn three years he travelled 10,000 miles and completely wore out a Ford car, which was not bad considering the con ditions. The roads were dreadful beyond description. On one occasion, feeling very much annoyed, lie performed a rough and ready act of sublimation, and wrote a savage article about the Queensland roads, which was sent to n London paper. Tho editor wroto hack stating that he would certainly publish it and when Mr. Isher wood was feeling hot again, would he write
another! In tho Scattered Homesteads.
Queensland's roads began in the essence
of simplicity and followed the direction the original traveller took. The road was formed out of the track. It might wander half a mile from tho direction here and there, but no ono minded that very much. Cars were provided by the people for the clergy to aid them in their work. Arriving at nliomostead the parson conducted prayers.
If there were any communicants, Holy Com munion was celebrated, and the children were given religious instruction. Alter
a family service, tho children retired to bed and then tho adults usually had a game of cards before they retired. The Govern ment had a very extensive policy of educa tion. I f a dozen children were gathered together in any district, the Government would provide n school and n teacher and
it was tho job o f tho pnrsoit to visit the
schools ns often ns possihlo to give lessons in . scripture. Tho result was that there were little wooden schools dotted nil over tho hush. A good deal of work was in volved m getting round to all tho schools. Some it was possible to visit once a month, some once a quarter, wlulo it was possiblo to visit others only onco a year.
Rcfcrrim' to the hospitality afforded every
traveller in the hush, Mr. Isherwood said one never needed to worry about a meal or a bed if one could reach a [arm. On one occasion ho arrived at a farmhouse and, chatting with tho farmer, the man told him that lie could not sleep at nights. A\ hen Mr. Ishcrwuod went to bed lie found that outside the bedroom window were some line orange trees. During the night uumbcis of Hying foxes came along to steal the fruit, and" in the course of operations picked up quarrels with each other with the result that they dropped the oranges. Several times in "the night, oranges dropped on to^ the galvanised roof of the housc^ with consider able noise ami disturbed his sloop. 3 he general scuffling outside did the same. fJ he following morning the fanner asked if ho had been comfortable, and he replied that lie had. hut had been disturbed by the noises. The farmer asked: “ What noises
The Frilled Lizard. The wild life of the country was distinctly
interesting, for besides the kangoroos there were other creatures which were gradually
becoming extinct. He had had the unusual experience of seeing both the Queensland frilled lizard and the duck-hilled platipus.
People who had been in the district 30 years had told him that they had never seen either of the creatures. The average speed at which it was possible to travel by car was 12 miles an hour. One day lie was leisurely
travelling along a mountain track when he saw on the road in front of him j\ tree branch, and as ho moved to circumvent it,
the branch walked away,
of his life and, stopping tho car, looked over the side and saw the most hideous creature
lie got the shock
he had ever seen in his life, the Queensland frilled lizard. The reptile belonged to the dragon family and had a scaly body from five to six feet long with a tapering tail ml four logs. It had a huge frog-like
head. As he looked over the side of the car at it the lizard opened its enormous mouth and made a most hideous noise at hi in. Bonding down he picked up a hi, paimer he always carried and feelin_ athor braver looked again,
tho reptile
repeating its insulting behaviour. On turning to England he was interested to
see that the Zoo were very proud at last to have acquired ono of the species. Mr. Isherwood recounted two experiences
which befol him whilst in North Queensland which illustrated the keenness of young English people who went out there to work and gaily stepped in where angels would go gentlv.
Five Miles in Five Hours. One Faster Day 1 was very much exor
cised as to how to carry out my rather large programme of Easter services,’ ’ Mr. Isher wood said.
“ It was the end of the wet
season, though the rain had stopped before the Good Friday, which was perfectly fine. Still, the roads were in a horrible condition and re.-emblod liquid mud as much as any thing.
•vice to get out to one part of the parish I determined after tho morning
only five miles away where a group of Scandinavian children would he awaiting me. I was frequently told I would never get through and hack* again in the after noon. Tho normal journey ■would have taken me 25 minutes, but- that Easter Day it took five and a half hours, and 1 did the journey in three stages. 1 got about a couple of miles in the car. walked on a good way and finished - on horseback, having to ....... a flooded river when wo both got terribly wet. particularly the horse. I found the children whiling away tho time having an argument. Tho hoys said the Hector had more sense than attempt to come on an fternoon like that, and the girls said they
did not think tho Hector had so much sense and that he would come.
Six Fine Turkeys. “ During the whole of Holy Week the only
thing my young men had been able to talk about was how many turkeys they had got. There had been a big drought out West and the turkey> were trekking north where there was food in plenty, and the people were doing well in catching them for food. 1 had not had time to join in the turkey hunt. On the outward journey 1 was
,trudging wearily along, hymn hooks slun 'over my shoulder, when suddenly tlier emerged from the sugar cane six magnificent turkeys. All my piety fled on the spot. Here were turkevs to take home. 1 am afraid I dropped* the hag of Prayer Hooks seized a log and flung it into the middle of the turkeys.
WHIST 11151 Vl-7 AND DANCT-’,.—In placo
of the annual tea party and entertainment, whist drive and dance was held at tho
Mi-Moil Hoorn on Friday evening. For whist, fourteen tables wero occupied .and play was conducted under tho supervision of Mr. («. Fuller. The prizes were won as follows:—Ladies: 1, Mrs. Dairstow; 2, Mrs.

I shut my eyes and then
opened them again to count the corpses. When 1 opened them there were plenty of feathers but no corpses at all. So 1 went on my way. Ten days later I called at a house in the vicinity. It was a very hot ti-iv, and I sat out on the verandah to drink the* inevitable cup of tea. I was talking to my hostess when round tho corner of tiie house came the same six magnificent turkeys. T froze into immobility and then in a carefullv controlled voice I said to my hostess ‘ What fine turkeys you have got.’ Site agreed and thou 1 asked if she were not afraid when they wero wandering around that they would not come back. 1 No fear,’ she replied. 1 They wander all over the place and always come hack.

Isherwood said that with Hus hare hatiih he attacked and killed an animal which, ho understood, had never been killed other than by gun or trap in North Queensland. Of course, it was sheer ignorance,” Mr.
H'herwood said. “ If 1 had known what
it was 1 was tackling—1 am not that sort of hero—1 would have run a mile. Wo had been having a tea party at tho itectory, and on the back stairs was a box containing crockery borrowed from the grocers—you do that sort of thing out there. That night wo were disturbed by chink, chink,, amongst the crockery. 1
thought it was an opossum. Nobody fears an opossum. They scratch but do no real damage.
I told my wife 1 thought ir
was an opossum and that l would go and settlo with it. I went hut L did not get it that night. The following night when I was sat reading I heard it ngain. Putting on a determined expression 1 said to my
wife, ‘ I really will deal with it.’ l
flattered myself on doing a bit of really good'stalking and finally saw a bushy tail
sticking out from underneath the box. 1 grabbed hold of that tail and pulled. Nothing happened. Tho animal was too strong to bo dislodged so easily. I called to iny wife to bring a light. Hanging near was a gabardine coat, and removing
tho box suddenly I flung the coat over the animal and tucked it under my arm, It was a Queensland wild cat* an animal
ovoryone gives a wide berth. I did not know. Wo talked for about an hour of tho charm of native animals and their care and considered kweping 'the lovely little animal as a pet. Thou 1 finally decided to go down to tho town to take the animal to my churchwarden, who .was a dealer in
