Thursday's Child ??????

Foundling Peter Tobin lived through a vanished age, a time when the wide Australian outback was opening up to the force of steel rails, steam power, visionary civic builders, and the power of determined men and their horses. In the remote outback of the late 19th century, Peter makes his own way in the world, from drover, sheep shearer and horse breaker, training horses for the South African War, to wealthy man of the land. The saga of a world now gone is told in powerful terms in the novel Thursday’s Child: Journeys Far and Wide in the Australian Outback.
