Notation
This small fragment has been torn jaggedly from a sheet of paper; many additional individual words remain at the edges, but no sentence is complete and it is therefore largely unreadable apart from this line of text. The 'Australian thing' is Ellis's projected book, (1922) Kanga Creek Waltham St Lawrence: Golden Cockerell Press. Draznin's (1992) version of the text is in some respects different from our transcription.
