Furphy

Look what I found…still going surprisingly.

John Furphy the company founder, was the brother of Joseph Furphy – the author of Such is Life. One of my all time favorite books.

Joseph wrote the book in his retirement, at the Furphy engineering works. It is a treatise on life, the universe and everything, set in the context of bullock droving in rural Australian in the 1860’s or thereabouts.
