“For heaven's sake, it is supposed to be a small gathering of staff and family for a day of watching the Avon Descent, not a bloody grand spectacle with dignatories from all over the place,” I snapped, as I tried to think of a plan to deal with this situation. “Oh! I am sorry about that, I will tell his office that there are no tickets available as it is a private function,” Mr Appleton responded. “Yes, if you can do that please, I am only allowing the Canadian Ambassador and his family to

“Hello Cooper, how are things in Western Australia?” the voice of Mr Thymes asked, “I am very well thankyou sir, just a little annoyed with what is happening with my former employers,” I replied. “Yes, I have all the information in front of me here, and I have consulted a colleague Barrister at a law firm there in Perth, he is a good chap, and we know each other from University days back in Edinburgh, where I believe you’re ancestor also studied,” Mr Thymes said in response. “What is his r

“I see you have found our little songbirds,” a new voice said from behind, as Davies arrived in the room, “I have indeed, and if you please, can you finish the piece that you were playing when I arrived,” I replied as I sat down to enjoy the mini-concert, with Davies sitting next to me and the lads sat nearby. “Remind me to arrange for a baby grand to be delivered here, so we can have more music on the property,” I whispered to Davies who looked shocked at first then smiled and nodded his head.

“That is very good news to hear. I look forward to working with you and getting to know how well this estate is run under your guidance,” I replied. “Will you be residing on the property, once your family regains management control next month?” Davies asked me. “I am not entirely sure about that, as I will be getting some guidance from my Grandfather on some matters, but he is still managing the station down near Norseman. I have a feeling that now that the family is returning to the estate, he

The four-door diesel Wrangler was far more than I expected to get, which is maroon, with wide wheel arches, side steps, bull bar, front winch, two bull bar-mounted spotlights, four roof rack-mounted spotlights, snorkel, passenger side awning, tow bar and rear light and reversing camera. Inside, there are five seats, plus a large rear cargo bay, CB radio, front and rear air-conditioning, and window tinting, and it was a manual which I preferred. It did have over 200k in milage which was a bit of

At the age of 20, I thought that my future was set, having graduated from high school with distinction in four key subjects, and at least an A- or higher for all other subjects, I had missed out on being Dux of the school by a very small margin and I was currently in my year third year of studying Agricultural Business and Science at University, which I wanted to complete before moving down to the station to work with Gramps, plus I had completed a Diploma in Emergency Health Care and a Graduate

Twenty-year-old Cooper Hudson is the oldest of four boys, who spent their first few years living on the family sheep station - Southern Hills, that is located on the south of the Eyre Highway, with the turn-off located 82 kilometres East of the nearest town of Norseman. Cooper is a third-year university student in Perth, where the family is based with their mother working part-time at the nearby college and their father often works away as he is a AFP senior officer. As the family enjoys another holiday down at the station, a big surprise is revealed, which changes Cooper's future totally.

I was a little surprised as I arrived at the Embassy entry portico to find all 12 staff members including Mary and Lance Abbott, lined up to wish me a welcome home. “Welcome back sir, just leave your luggage and your vehicle, and we will take care of that for you,” Hugh said to me as he gave me a short bow and I handed him the vehicle keys. I thanked everyone for the welcome back before I headed inside, down the passage, and across the courtyard to the other side of the building, where I t

While I was concentrating on my exams, I arrived back at my room after a challenging day, where I found Hugh waiting for me and he was smiling. Once safely in the privacy of my room, and having quickly washed my face to freshen u a little, I asked Hugh if the visit was business, which made him chuckle. “It is your Excellency, I am happy to report news from the Embassy manager, that we have secured the bottom neighbouring property, which is already vacant, so work is currently underway to freshe

I had a feeling that there was a lot more that he wasn’t telling me about the house, but I decided not to push it, especially since we had to get organised for dinner, which by the smells coming from the kitchen, everything was in order in that department. “Good afternoon Mr Hugh and Mr Brett, would you like a pre-dinner drink while waiting for your guests?” Mary Abbott the housekeeper asked me. “You know that I don’t drink, and Brett here is the same, and once we are decent, we will wait i

On Wednesday afternoon, I received the call that I was expecting, directly from the Minister herself. “How soon can you get to the UN? Can you be there within the next day or two?” she asked me, and I chuckled at this comment, “You forget minister that I have friends waiting above to assist me with my travels,” I responded, and I heard her gasp. “Of course, it is going to take a bit to get used to someone being able to pop in and out like you did the other day. Send me a text message when you ar
