From the Oxford Companion to Australian Literature:

"Ernest Francis O'Ferrall

(1881-1925), born Melbourne, joined the staff of the Bulletin in 1907. A popular writer of short stories and sketches for the Bulletin and the Lone Hand, often under the pseudonym 'Kodak', O'Ferrall is represented in numerous anthologies. He published two collections of stories, Bodger and the Boarders (1921) and Stories by 'Kodak' (1933), and a collection of verse, Odd Jobs (1928). O'Ferrall's stories have mainly urban settings. Lightly satiric, they rely heavily on situational comedy, especially on bizarre but credible incidents arising from boarding-house life, on the predictable but originally handled collisions between shrewish, unattractive landladies and drunken male boarders. His most famous story, 'The Lobster and the Lioness', which has affinities with Henry Lawson's 'The Loaded Dog', recounts an encounter between a drunken boarding-house inmate and an escaped lioness which he mistakes for a dog."

"Odd Jobs" seems a likely candidate, but it's only 26 pages. British Library has a copy, so it may be possible to get a photocopy through my local library. Google Books only has basic details, no content.
