The Opal Fever, single work review
— Review of The Opal Fever, or, Wild life in Queensland John H. Nicholson , 1878 selected work novella poetry ;
'This is a Queensland production, being published by Mr F. T. F. Keogh of Brisbane, and is a spirit from the humorous vein. "The Opal Fever" is an extravaganza in verse, and a good many broad grins lurk between the lines... in addition to "The Opal Fever", a mock romantic poem, in the style of Scott, and ingeniously wrought out with genuine bush similes and colonial phraseology.'
