This work is a collection of observations by the fictional narrator (Tom
Collins) as he travels around the countryside of southern New South Wales and
Victoria in the 1880s.
This tale provides insight into the stories and hardships of rural dwellers in
Australia in the latter half of the nineteenth century, as well as the
narrator’s own philosophy of life.
The original huge manuscript (1897) of Such Is Life, Being Certain Extracts from
the Diary of Tom Collins, was sent to A. G. Stephens of the Bulletin. Stephens
realised the merit of the text but knew it was impracticable to publish, so
returned it to Furphy. Parts of the text were released in various forms, but the
first complete edition was not published until 1946. Joseph Furphy, however, had
died at Claremont on 13th of September 1912.
