DESCRIPTION
TitleGeorgiana's journal : Melbourne 1841-1865 Personal AuthorMcCrae, Georgiana, 1804-1890, author; McCrae, Hugh, 1876-1958, editorDescriptionMuch loved colonial journal of one of the first settlers where millions live today. Her genteel yet candid voice introduces Port Phillip as a rustic outpost-before prosperity, culture and urbanisation put Melbourne on the map. With her eye for detail and a natural way with words and pictures Georgiana shares the colourful lives of people who built a colony in the wilderness. Previous editions have sold out and at last Georgiana's Journal is presented in a beautiful hardback: a lovely gift for birthdays, Christmas and Mothers Day. This edition is good for scholars thanks to the new introduction examining the playful editorial role of Georgiana's gifted grandson, Hugh McCrae. Indexed.
