Notes:
'These letters were written for the Dimboola Banner and were favourably received. At the request of a number of readers, I am now seeking a larger audience. The letters come, not from a wealthy globetrotter, but from a backblock State School teacher, with an ambition to see the lands of the past... ' (The author, 'Preface to First Edition')
Notes:

Unsigned poem, 'The Wimmera', included at end of 2nd, 3rd and 4th editions:

Silent river 'mid the gum trees,/ Where I have my nest, / All the world I searched for pleasure,/ You I seek for rest./ Fertile Nilelands, beauteous Rhinelands,/ Torrents washing Gothard's crest,/ Silent river 'mid the gum trees,/ You I love the best.

The sixth line in the 4th edition reads: Torrents born on Gothard's crest.

Armchair Tourism : The Popularity of Australian Travel Writing Richard White , 2012 single work criticism
— Appears in: Sold by the Millions : Australia's Bestsellers 2012; (p. 182-202) 'Richard White examines the 'uneasy relationship' between the genre of travel writing and the notions of the popular. He considers the way in which 'Australian travel writers negotiated the pitfalls of popularity' and argues that 'a number of Australian writers broke with these conventions and willingly embraced the popular.' He takes Frank Clune and Colin Simpson as case studies to examine how their writing courted a popular mass market in Australia and created a genre where ordinary tourist was hero.'
