Hi Loudhy,
Glad you enjoy them, wasn't sure if many people read them or not.
This one is about another Swagman called Mitchell. It tells how he manages to swindle the local Station (Large Farm) owner out of some food, without paying for it or doing any work for it.
In the early white history of Australia, the Swagmen had a reputation for this sort of thing. Not all were quite so blatant about it though. You notice that he arrives at the farm without his mates, and the farmer and his cook never once lay eyes on these "mates".

But he has enough food off them to feed three. Also the way he talks the farmer into saying "yes" is classic.
Anyway, if there is anything in particular you don't understand, just post it and I'll do my best to interpret it for you. Bear in mind though that these stories all come from the late 1800's to the early 1900's, and the language is some what archaic.
Cheers, Skip.
