Travel Writing

About This Book

A pair of travellers record impressions from a short tour through Australia's states, offering descriptive sketches of landscapes, urban centres, and regional industries. The account moves from Western Australia's forests, agriculture and gold to South Australia and Victoria's civic life, then to New South Wales' harbours and mountain outings, Queensland's tropical districts and banana cultivation, and finally to the Great Barrier Reef and the Northern Territory. Interspersed travel anecdotes convey social hospitality, economic conditions, and brief comments on local democratic experiments, while regional chapters are supported by photographs and a map to enrich practical and scenic observations.

RAMBLES SERIES

“The books are not designed as guides. Up to a point they may be used as such. They are really very pleasant essays by writers who know their subjects, and they may be read with pleasure and instruction quite apart from their utilitarian value to the traveller.”—Liverpool Courier.
