Harry Heathcote of Gangoil. A tale of Australian bush life

Trollope's only Australian novel, Harry Heathcote of Gangoil deals with the problems facing a young sheepfarmer, or 'squatter' (modelled after Trollope's son Frederic) in outback Australia. Using conventions of the Christmas story established by Dickens in the late 1840s, the novel shows Harry Heathcote thwarting the envious ex-convict neighbors who harbor his disgruntled former employees and who attempt to set fire to his pastures. Trollope draws heavily on his knowledge of the social and economic conditions of bush life acquired during a year-long visit to Australia in 1871-2.

  • "Harry Heathcote is running a 120,000 acre sheep station deep in the Australian bush. Harry has lost a strip of land between his station and the river to Giles Medlicot who has used it to construct a sugar plantation and mill. Because of this, relations are frosty between the two men. Harry's imperiousness has made him many enemies. On Christmas Eve, two disgruntled former employees start a fire on his land. Harry only has his aboriginal hand Jacko to help him avert disaster for the station, until Giles Medlicot lends his support."
  • "A novel that exhibits the hardened realities of social and economic conditions of Australia. It is a story of young sheep-farmer who faces problems deliberately designed by his neighbors."

Trollope has remarkably portrayed the pastoral beauty with cohesive language and luminous imagery that lets the reader in a tenacious spell of bucolic life."@en
