Born in 1894, Albert Facey lived the rough frontier life of a sheep farmer, survived the gore of Gallipoli, raised a family through the Depression, and spent 60 years with his beloved wife, Evelyn.

A moving personal account of pioneer life in Western Australia done with wonderful personality and simplicity. Horrific treatment, harrowing experiences, sacrifices and trials mixed with human kindness, hopefulness and successes, the author takes us through his life of ups and downs, painting a detailed story of the hardships of child labor, pioneering new territory, changing phases of life and the choices he made to make up what he considered to be "A Fortunate Life".
