The Settlement of John Batman in Port Phillip : From His Own Journal, John Batman , selected work diary
'Batman's crucial first expedition to Port Phillip in May-June 1835. Based on historical events rather than on Batman's actual journal and written to reinforce his claim to be the founder of Melbourne, this embellished account of the expedition has been attributed by Henry Gyles Turner to Joseph Tice Gellibrand and a prominent member of the Port Phillip Association.' (National Library of Australia catalogue.)

He worked on many newspapers around Melbourne, including the Melbourne Morning Herald and General Daily Advertiser (later the Herald), and the Argus. He was the author of the first critical essay on Australian literature; The Fiction Fields of Australia (1856), and reported on the 1858 gold rush in Canoona; An Account of the "Rush" to Port Curtis, Including Letters Addressed to the "Argus" as Special Correspondent from the Fitzroy River (1859).
