My name's Dick Marston, Sydney-side native.

I'm twenty-nine years old, six feet in my stocking soles, and thirteen stone weight.

Pretty strong and active with it, so they say.

I don't want to blow--not here, any road--but it takes a good man to put me on my back, or stand up to me with the gloves, or the naked mauleys.

I can ride anything--anything that ever was lapped in horsehide--swim like a musk-duck, and track like a Myall blackfellow.
