Omschrijving

On The Wallaby: Or Through The East And Across Australia is a travelogue written by Guy Newell Boothby and first published in 1894. The book chronicles Boothby's journey across Australia, starting from Sydney and traveling through the eastern states before finally crossing the continent to Western Australia. The title of the book refers to the Australian slang term ""on the wallaby"" which means to travel around looking for work.The book provides a vivid and detailed account of Boothby's experiences as he travels through the rugged and often inhospitable terrain of Australia. He describes the people he meets along the way, including the indigenous Aboriginal people, as well as the flora and fauna he encounters. Boothby also provides insights into the social and economic conditions of Australia at the time, including the impact of the gold rush on the country's development.Throughout the book, Boothby's writing is characterized by his sense of humor and his keen observation of the world around him. He brings to life the sights, sounds, and smells of Australia, from the bustling cities to the vast, empty expanses of the outback. The book is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era in Australian history and a testament to Boothby's skill as a writer and observer of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
