Adventures in Queensland

(1879) by 'Australian' (F.A. Blackman), one of Queensland's most significant early works, is a combination of history, fiction and guidelines for immigrants. Strongly pro-squatter, Blackman describes the settlement of the area west of Maryborough in the 1840s and 1850s; his callous attitude to the Aborigines is typical of the period.
