Rex's Christmas Day unfolds in serene solitude, marked by thoughtful gifts from his family, including a fishing fly wallet and a book by Robert Service. After a midday dinner with fellow station men, he spends the afternoon fishing in the Upper Murray River. Alone in the kitchen, he prepares a simple meal of fried trout, savoring the tranquility of the evening. As he reflects on his life and family from the verandah, he contemplates the future and the uncertain end of his journey, embracing both the peace of solitude and the pang of longing.
