Publisher Description:
"It may be deemed presumptuous that one of my age and sexshould venture to give to the public an account of personaladventures in a land which has so often been descanted upon byother and abler pens; but when I reflect on the many mothers, wives, and sisters in England, whose hearts are ever longing forinformation respecting the dangers and privations to whichtheir relatives at the antipodes are exposed, I cannot but hopethat the presumption of my undertaking may be pardoned inconsideration of the pleasure which an accurate description ofsome of the Australian Gold Fields may perhaps afford tomany; and although the time of my residence in the colonieswas short, I had the advantage (not only in Melbourne, butwhilst in the bush) of constant intercourse with manyexperienced diggers and old colonists-thus having everyfacility for acquiring information respecting Victoria and theother colonies.
