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.

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.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1889 edition. Excerpt: ...my net, I saw two almost naked savages coming toward me; one carried a spear and a nulla-nulla, and the other was armed with a boomerang. They were both very dark, almost black, and their heads were covered with long, tangled hair, while the lower parts of their faces were hidden under thick, bushy beards. Their flat, spreading noses, and small, glittering eyes, partly hidden beneath their protruding brows, gave them a savage, almost terrible, look; and if I had been in a wild, unsettled country, I should probably have done a mile or two of good "go as you please." They came straight up to me, and, in very good English, asked for tobacco. I told them that I did not use the article, and I considered it bad both for white and black man; whereupon they both laughed, and one said, --"Ah, buncumb, gammon, English man all same liar." They repeated their request for tobacco several times, but as I each time made the same reply, they came to the conclusion that I was telling the truth, or that I was lying and intended to stick to it. As I was mentally comparing their ugliness, a large, handsome papilio came sailing past, and away I ran after it. A roar of wild laughter followed me, as I caught and put the insect into my bottle of cyanide; then up they came again, grinning and showing their teeth, --no doubt thinking me the simplest "crank" that ever walked the earth. I had heard many stories of the native Australian throwing the boomerang, and it occurred to me that this would be a grand opportunity to see how it was done. So I bargained with them, for a shilling, to give a performance.
