Publisher's Synopsis
On The Wallaby: Or Through The East And Across Australia is a travelogue written by Guy Newell Boothby in 1894. The book is an account of Boothby's journey through the eastern parts of Australia, from Melbourne to Sydney and beyond, as he explores the country's diverse landscapes and meets its people. Boothby's writing style is vivid and descriptive, and he paints a picture of the Australian outback that is both beautiful and harsh. He describes the rugged terrain, the harsh climate, and the unique flora and fauna of the region, as well as the challenges faced by the early settlers who made their homes there. Throughout the book, Boothby shares his encounters with the local Aboriginal people, as well as his observations on the impact of European colonization on their culture and way of life. He also writes about the various towns and settlements he visits along the way, and the people he meets there, from farmers and miners to bushrangers and outlaws. On The Wallaby: Or Through The East And Across Australia is a fascinating glimpse into the Australia of the late 19th century, and a testament to Boothby's adventurous spirit and love of travel. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of this vast and beautiful country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
