"When fairies weave a wizard spell, And conjure up before our eyes, The days and scenes we loved so well, And men and maids long lost arise—Then at their bidding camp-fires gleam, With boiling billy on the hook, It seems so true and sweet a dream, The gazer nearer draws to look." 'By Creek and Gully' is a collection of stories and sketches of bush life, told in prose and rhyme by various Australian born writers living in England. It features works of such writers as Lala Fisher, E. W. Hornung, E. S. Rawson, Margaret Thomas and H. B. Marriot Watson.
