  • 19th-Century Australian Travel Writing

    Henry William Haygarth (1821-1903), Esquire, was an English cleric and early squatter in Australia. Arriving with a cousin, David Parry-Okeden, he established a station south-west of Sydney. This experience was presented in his autobiographical account of bush life in Australia. Through his detailed narrative, Haygarth described the inns, scenery, station life, bushrangers, hospitality and Aboriginal peoples in Australia. It concluded with a chapter on female society in the bush and provided hints to emigrants and capitalists. Written in the first person, it is conversational and occasionally moralistic in tone. Haygarth was all-encompassing with his description and advice that covers hints for all classes, ages, and sexes.
