text
  • For the outback mailman, rain or sun, through menace of thirst or possibility of drowning, all life must run to schedule. He is a friend to everyone in the north and many owe thanks to him, for Sam has grub-staked more than his share of unfortunate travellers. Friend and confidant, doctor and nurse, private secretary and bush lawyer on occasion; guardian angel for the many miles of desolation, Sam Irvine is one of the most popular and best known figures of the Centre. I shall always remember him, sitting upon a pyramid of mailbags in the mud, drinking a pannikin of strong cold tea, and wet to the skin, removing from his weary limbs the yellow clay that carried his skin with it. "His Majesty's Mail" said Sam, surveying the wreckage "I wish that he could see this lot" (en)
