Here's a story by Henry Lawson which I think you might enjoy.

It's been one of my favourite short stories since I first read it as a kid. Lawson, I suppose could be considered a bit of an Aussie Mark Twain in that his writing is insightful and well observed but wrapped in a great sense of humour.
Cheers all
