A Sunday morning in a bush shanty full of shearers from Big Billabong Shed opens the collection, with the creed that a man in a hole needs the hat passed round. Lawson follows with stories and verses of a pretty girl in the Salvation Army, Lord Douglas, one-eyed Bogan, two sundowners, mateship and Steelman the con man.
