Dunderdale, who lived for decades in Gippsland, gathers true sketches of the men and women who came to Australia and never went home. He tells of first settlers, the wreck of the convict ship Neva on King Island, the discovery of the Hopkins River, shore whaling, life out west in 1849 and the gold diggings of 1853, with dry humour and an eye for character.
A lively first-hand record of colonial Victoria, for anyone interested in Australian frontier history. Download the free EPUB.
