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.

Transcriber’s Note

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unpaired quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unpaired.
