Henry Colless, one of the old pioneers. In his mid-teens he set out
as a carrier across the Blue Mountains and then further along the
track to the northwest. He was still a teenager when he helped his
father and his brother establish legendary Come-by-Chance. He was
one of the early settlers in Bourke, and later became one of its
leading lights; and he drove a great mob of cattle across the
corner country to establish the first station at Innamincka. This
is his story. 'The Collesses. Theirs is the story of Australia
itself. Convicts, bushrangers, cattle thieves, pioneers, punters,
graziers, ANZACs; floods and droughts, boom and bust, they lived
right through it all. Their story is every bit as comprehensive as
Dorothea Mackellar's "I love a sunburnt country". They were right
in the thick of our founding cultural history; they helped to make
it, helped make this land. From Bird's Eye Corner to the far corner
country. Henry Colless's line - corner to corner, through the
middle of everything. And it is not a line without trace. George,
William, Henry, they each handed on their sterling character - a
more telling legacy than money can buy.'
