The 1920's wasn't a time of great prosperity for all Australians.

This was also a period where for many Australians poverty was upon them. Among those included debt-ridden soldiers in rural New South Wales. Governments failed to implement training re schemes to train those who were unskilled and had to live in constant fear of unemployment.
