“On the other side of the continent in Western Australia, Bishop Riley difficult struggles, because of the huge distances he had to travel, sometimes on foot, more often on horseback or camel, and rarely in the comfort of a ship, let alone a coach, or train, when roads and bridges were so rare.
“RILEY WAS ONCE LOST FOR FOUR DAYS [my caps]. Entrepreneurialism and public relations skills, which few English bishops needed to acquire, were essential to survival in the colonies.”
Ian Breward, A History of the Churches in Australasia
