3 14 y separately published work icon My Love Must Wait : The Story of Matthew Flinders Ernestine Hill , Sydney : Angus and Robertson , 1941 Z843543 1941 single work novel historical fiction

'When Matthew Flinders, the first man to chart and circumnavigate Australia, set sail from England in July 1801, he left behind the intrigues of his homeland but also his young bride of only a few weeks, Ann Chappell. He didn't see her again for more than nine years. During that time he carried out incredible feats of seamanship and navigation, made the first charts of much of the coastline of Australia, and was shipwrecked and later held prisoner by the French on Mauritius.

'Meticulously researched and written with great insight and sensitivity, My Love Must Wait is both a tender portrayal of faithful devotion, and a stirring re-creation of the courage and endurance of one of history's greatest seamen. ' (Publication summary)

'It was time for Joey to leave the warm protection of his mother's pouch, to learn to fend for himself in the broad, dry bush country of Australia. There were many things for this timid, awkward baby to see and explore before the day when, as a big red 'roo, he would lead a kangaroo herd of his own. His boxing match with a water buffalo, thrilling flight from a bush fire, and deep feeling for Little Blue - these were but few of the experiences that prepared Joey for that day.'

5 5 y separately published work icon Frank Layton : An Australian Story George Etell Sargent , 1854 single work children's fiction children's adventure 'Frank Layton, the eponymous young hero, left without an inheritance after his father's death, has emigrated to make his way by working on a station. Initially he finds it hard to accommodate the rough bush conveniences with his own 'cultivated taste of a highly polished life', however, he proves to be made of stern stuff and can therefore express no genuine feeling for the plight of 'poor Cousin Bessie', caught in Canvas Town and likely to be there for perpuity. Not such a model of british manhood as Frank, Bessie's husband is untried and untested in the bush and 'has no aptitude nor determination ... energy or perseverance.' (373).' (Pam Macintyre 'From Canvas Town to Marvellous Melbourne: Melbourne in Colonial Children's Novels' La Trobe Library Journal 60 (Spring 1997): 74-83).
