Summary "A Colonial Reformer, Vol. 3 (of 3)" by Rolf Boldrewood is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on the character Ernest Neuchamp, a colonial reformer in Australia, as he navigates the complexities of rural life amidst struggles related to drought, social dynamics, and personal relationships. The book delves into themes of ambition, philanthropy, and the harsh realities of colonial existence. The opening of the third volume introduces a conversation between Neuchamp and Mr. Levison, who provides him with insights about cattle trading and the economic conditions of their environment. Levison has purchased cattle for Neuchamp, expressing optimism for future profits due to expected rainfall and rising livestock prices. As the conversation unfolds, Neuchamp contemplates his own struggles in managing his station and the various challenges he faces as a reformer. Additionally, the arrival of Neuchamp's cousin, Augusta, adds a new dynamic, as her perspective clashes with the realities of colonial life, revealing tensions between ideals and practical circumstances. The exchange of letters and dialogues further underscores personal and financial dilemmas, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of life on the frontier.
