Human Toll, written by Barbara Baynton in the early 20th century, follows the story of Ursula (Ursie) Ewart, an orphaned girl sent away from her home in the Australian bush to live in a nearby country town. There, she faces neglect and isolation, finding solace only in her friendship with Andrew, an older child. This work expands on Baynton's earlier observations in Bush Studies, offering a poignant exploration of women's experiences in the harsh realities of bush life and culture during this era.
