What was the setting?
The living conditions of the Drover family were rural and rustic,
The two-roomed house is built of round timber, slabs, and stringy-bark, and floored with split slabs. A big bark kitchen standing at one end is larger than the house itself, veranda included. Bush all around - bush with no horizon, for the country is flat.
The Drover's Wife is set in 19th Century, Australian outback.
