PASTURES NEW: Pastoral Occupation of Port Phillip. Melbourne Australia Settlers

Description: PASTURES NEW An Account of the Pastoral Occupation of Port Phillip. R.V. BILLIS & A. S. KENYON MACMILLAN AND CO: MELBOURNE 1930 First edition. PREFACE. The intention of this work is to relate the story of the pastoral settlement of Port Phillip. With this publication, we are permitted to include extracts from diaries and notes left by pastoral pioneers as well as passages from letters written by Messrs. Thomas and James Henty and by Mr. John Cotton, of Doogallook. Some of them, particularly Mr. Cotton's letters, not only carry us in fancy to the early scenes and life in the bush—for they breathe the very spirit of the times—but they are of historic value, and whatever may be thought of the rest of the publication, we are sure these extracts will be appreciated. Also we have attempted an account of the merino sheep and the wool-growing industry as it was developed by the pastoral pioneers, known in their day as the squatters of Port Phillip. There can be no room for doubt that the pastoral occupation of Port Phillip, that is, from the first permanent settlement following the landing of John Batman in 1835, till the gold rushes in the early 'fifties, was the most remarkable colonisation feat in the annals of the British Empire. Some historians point to it as one outstanding performance with no parallel since the wonderful achievements of the ancients, when the work of colonisation was an art embodying " the highest principles of forecast and completeness." Others claim that for effective land-settlement results, even ancient history furnishes no similar example. 22 x 14 cm. xi + 272 pp. Very good + condition. Some light foxing to the page edges but otherwise very clean and tidy, binding firm. Images sell!
