Summary "On Our Selection" by Steele Rudd is a humorous and heartfelt novel written during the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life of a family of selectors as they face the challenges of pioneering in rural Australia. The narrative centers around the father, affectionately called Dad, and his children, as they navigate farming, family dynamics, and the unique struggles of life in the bush. The opening of "On Our Selection" introduces the reader to the family’s recent settlement on a rugged piece of land. We learn of their arduous journey to the new location, the humble abode Dad constructed, and the tough lifestyle they must embrace in the wild. As they begin to clear the land for cultivation, their hopes for a successful harvest collide with the harsh realities of farming life, including uncooperative horses and difficult weather. Rudd sets a tone of determination and resilience, sprinkled with humor, as the family tackles the mundane yet challenging tasks of farm life while often engaging in playful banter. Through this initial glimpse, readers are invited into a world filled with relatable struggles and enduring spirit, promising a poignant reflection on rural life in Australia.
