AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Australian station romance and adventure includes kidnapping and gold. Lightly self-mocking reminiscence of a Victorian youth's first love for a Melbourne judge's daughter visiting the station. Focus of tale is really on his tree climb to find his position when lost; his capture and deposit in a cave by a band of illicit alcohol brewers; his attempt to escape from the old mine during which he strikes gold; his consequent increase in income and loss of first love. Happy tone gently laughing at youth's follies - includes short bursts of praise for Australia and Victoria; nationalism. (PB)
