In the Days When the World Was Wide By Patrick Costello Transcribed by Dorothy Wickham This book is a transcription of a narrative by Patrick Costello which describes his voyage to Australia and his extraordinary pioneering experiences, throughout the Port Phillip District during the 1840s and early 1850s. It is fortunate that these accounts have survived as they provide an invaluable insight into the early life in the colony. An index allows ready access to placenames, names of stations and runs, and surnames that are mentioned in the narrative. This is a comprehensive account of the everyday life of a working class man. 80pp, illustrated, index, AUS$11.00
