"Well, it was all right in Melbourne, of course," Tom answered gravely. "He knew his way about there; and then, it’s very easy to get about, in decent streets—don’t you remember how you thought you heard the feet of his reindeer trotting along Orrong Road?  But it’s a very different matter to be here in the Bush, where there are mostly no tracks at all. I don’t believe reindeer could haul his sleigh round here.  Why, Nick O’Connor couldn’t manage a sledge with a team of bullocks the other day—it simply rolled over on the hill-sides.  Santa Claus’ sleigh is much more lightly built than a sledge, I should think."
