Journal Entry 1 by aussieangel2 from Noranda, Western Australia Australia on Wednesday, June 04, 2008

Blurb:

In Queensland, Australia in the 1920s, a rugged Irishman bucks the encroaching modern age to the detriment of himself and his family. Paddy Doolan, an individualistic force-of-nature runs a team of imposing and impressive Clydesdale draught horses taking supplies to small towns in the outback from the larger cities on the coast. With the internal combustion engine making inroads into the Australian outback, Doolan insists on ignoring the on-coming mechanical monstrosity and continues to put all his faith into his horse team. His recalcitrance tears apart his family -- consisting of his acquiescent wife Jenny, his rebellious older son Will, and supportive younger son Michael. Refusing to give in to changing times, he not only ends up destroying his business and his family, but himself as well, ending up alone, a boozer, and just going from job to job with his last remaining horses.
