Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Australian Ramble: Or a Summer in Australia I send this from the Orizaba, one of the finest, if not the finest, of the fine steamers of the Orient Line that keep open the communication between this country and Australia; and this is how it came to pass. One day last summer I was standing on the deck of a steamer, when a gentleman remarked to me, 'I come from a country where they have had no rain for nine months.' 'Where is that?' said I. 'Australia,' was the reply; and immediately I made up my mind to go there. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Ewing Ritchie (1820-98) was an English journalist and writer, some of whose works appeared under the pseudonym of Christopher Crayon. He was born in Wrentham, Suffolk, the son of congregational minister Andrew Ritchie. After attending Uiversity College, London, he began a career in journalism and over time edited and owned several periodicals including The Principality and The Illustrated News of the World, later making a successful application to the Royal Literary Fund after losing money on some of his periodical ventures. In addition to his journalism, Ritchie was a prolific author, specializing in biography, history, travel books and memoir. His only novel was Crying for the Light (1895), the tale of a country girl pursued by an evil baronet who is rescued by an honest journalist. The subjects of his biographies include Richard Cobden, David Livingstone, and William Ewart Gladstone, and amongst his travel books are works on Canada, South Africa, and Australia. He also wrote a number of books giving an insight into London in the 19th century. This record of his trip to Australia was first published in 1890.

Download or read book Zen Track Rambling written by Jim Schroeder and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zen Track Rambling came about quite by chance: First, as a joyful account to capture the feelings I experienced during my long runs; and secondly, as a means to relieve the pain, depression, and general helplessness I felt during a long-term injury. My running journey has led me to extreme highs, but has also plunged me bipolar-like into the depths of depression. The journey began in Starved Rock State Park, outside of LaSalle, Illinois, in August 1999, when I was an expatriate in Australia working in the States for a spell. At sunrise, I'd run the trails before work, then share in a communal breakfast with my workshop colleagues; yet during the work day, I would drift and daydream. I was fifty-something, and felt disconnected, not knowing who I was or where I was headed. But I put my time to good use during those humdrum workshops: I'd scribble the memories from the day's run on scraps of paper! The result of my ennui was an accumulation of paper scraps marked with ruminations of my daily runs. On my flight back to Australia, I gathered those scraps and magically scribed the poem “zen track rambling”. The title of the poem, however, is unrelated to my morning runs on the Starved Rock trails even though they were the poem's inspiration; rather, zen track is a name my Australian running mates and I coined to describe a scorching hot, blustery bike path which runs along a railway line—and, which once hosted the infamous Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin—where we often hallucinated as we ran in 100 plus-degree temperatures. As I was living and working in Australia for quite some time, I made a few friends in the South Australian Writer's Workshop, notably Kim, who encouraged me to read “zen track rambling” in one of the Poetry Under The Pier reading sessions in Henley Beach. I remember my first poetry reading like it was yesterday. Somewhat unsure of myself, I drew a deep breath and bared my soul to the gathered throng of poetry lovers. The ensuing positive reception I received convinced me to continue to write down what I felt, envisioned, and/or hallucinated on my long runs. As the years went by, I ran hundreds of miles, maybe even thousands, and the word count accumulated along with those miles. Australia was where I also got into competitive racing. On the weekends, I ran 20 plus-mile endurance runs on the sands of Henley Beach. I ran the annual 30Km South Australian Road Runners Club race many times, but it became less and less of a challenge. I could no longer ignore thoughts of running a marathon! I knew I had the distance in the bag since I was already running 20-plus mile runs each weekend on the beach. Completing that first marathon was just the beginning of my long-distance running career.Then, in June 2000, an injury crippled my running life. I had been training for the Corporate Cup, running with guys 20 years my junior and at their pace! My 5K time was a sub-20 minutes! Not bad for a fifty-year-old! But every runner knows that speedwork takes a toll on the body, and running hardcore like that resulted in very painful sciatica. I felt discouraged and depressed, and those feelings became apparent in my writing. When I think back to that time, I realize that writing had become my therapy, my way to understand my own fears and to express a hope I did not yet feel. Many of my poems, particularly, “footsteps in the sand" not only reveal my physical pain but also the mental anguish I felt. When the pain from my injury subsided—it took six long months—I felt the adrenaline urge again, but this time I replaced competitive racing with slow, long-distance running. Similarly, my writing style also changed: I started to write how I felt during those long runs in the form of race reports—instead of poetry—to memorialize my ultra-marathon experiences. My running life had finally pushed me forward into positive places on the trails and my spirit of running was renewed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles in Australia This little book aims at giving such general impressions of Australia as could be gleaned during a visit lasting from July into September, and including some time spent in each state. We have tried to convey some idea of the aspect of the country itself, with its brilliant sunshine, great plains and trackless forests; of the social atmosphere of warm-hearted hospitality; of its economic problems and democratic legislative experiments. These last are so essentially Australian, that it seemed impossible to omit some reference to them, but they hardly fall within our scope, and are only lightly touched upon.

Excerpt: ...satisfaction of all that portion of the colonists who are dependent upon him; and, as far as the routine of his duties goeSj to the satisfaction of his political opponents. No one will deny to the honourable gentleman the praise due to his assiduous industry, t--to his extensive information on matters concerning his office-r-to his invincible urbanity, --to his good-natured endurance of all the avanies necessarily attaching to the position which he occupies as working head of the Government. In council, Mr. Thompson is never taken aback. If, by chance, any startling motion is brought forward in the house--a rare occurrence, be it known--the Colonial Secretary may feel surprised at his own unpreparedness, but he never shows it. On the contrary, he rises with his usual self-possession; and, advancing to the table, and leaning on both his hands, turns his head towards the Speaker, and says--' I do not rise, sir, to oppose the motion of the honourable member, ' exactly in the same tone, and with the same self-confident nonchalance which he would exhibit on making a motion of course. You never feel afraid for him. There is no halting nor hesitation in his movements--nor, although his eloquence be but of the smallest, does he ever seem at a loss for words. He strings his sentences together with a very unnecessary number of urns and ahs--but the machine does not stop; the wheel never wants greasing--Insults. Edward Deas Thompson has always something to say. What that something is, may be fairly questioned. Nine times out of ten no one knows except the Colonial Secretary himself; and, perchance, his parliamentary aide-de-camp, Mr. Michael Fit/patrick, who, though not a member of the house, takes his seat as regularly at Mr. Thompson's left hand as
