Waajil, in the Central Division of the Colony of Carpentaria, was known throughout the length and breadth of the district as a "hard" station. And by common consent, the nomadic population of the bush had tacked the opprobious adjective "hungry" on to its owner's name. "Hungry Morgan of Waajil" was how he was invariably spoken of, not only by the wandering swagmen whom stern necessity drove to his station, but by his neighbors, with whom he was almost as unpopular.
His father had purchased Waajil with money made on Gympie diggings, and in the course of years formed it into a very fine property, hard drinking, hard swearing, hard riding scamp though he was.
