‘Such A Life’ is a conventional Australian scrubland novel written by Joseph Furphy narrating about Tom Collin’s nonsensical and calamitous nostalgias. Tom is in the company of Rory, Nosey, Warringa, and Buckley, whom he is driving across the plains of Northern Victoria and Riverina to show them the beauty of Australia and other natural tourist attractions.
The tour is full of comicality, tragedy, and the satirical nature of life. As Tom takes his bullock group around the plains, he gets intertwined in his team's destiny, and for a while, he forgets about his worries. The group continues to refabricate humor and ironies of the bush life; to pass the time, they enjoy looking at the Riverina and Victoria's plains. Tom and his team narrate about the Swagmen and bullockies who lived a stress-free life in the1980s because they slept below the stars with concord and limpidness.
Consequently, 'Such A Life' is one of the few most read and celebrated Australian literature books. The book is written to depict both humor and the punitive authenticities of life.
