A Lady's Visit to the Gold Diggings in Australia in 1852-53

This fascinating travelogue details the visit of author Ellen Clacy to the massive gold mines that were erected in Australia in the nineteenth century. Twenty-year-old Clacy's visit wasn't a genteel carriage tour—she camped under the stars and walked hundreds of miles with her brother en route to the mining operations at Bendigo. An engaging account for fans of vivid travel accounts.
