"Backhouse bases his Narratives on journals kept during an evangelical tour of Australia from 1831 to 1838, when he and his companion George Washington Walker, travelled extensively, preaching the gospel, seeking out fellow Quakers, distributing religious tracts and educational material, investigating and reporting on conditions for convicts and Aborigines, promoting the cause of temperance, and interesting themselves and commenting on all aspects of lie in Australia. Travelling mostly on foot and frequently over untracked areas, they visited established centres and isolated settlements. They explored Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales most extensively, particularly the former, but also paid brief visits to the settlements at Moreton Bay, Port Phillip, Adelaide, Albany and Perth" (Walsh and Hooton 16).
