Victoria the golden: Scenes, sketches and jottings from nature, Melbourne, Victoria 1850-1862

Publisher’s note: Each William Strutt sketch has been reproduced in the same size as the original but, for chronological, thematic and technical reasons, there has been a rearrangement of the order in which he placed them.

His own dates and spellings are sometimes inaccurate. The narrative has retained original spellings in some quotations.
