Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Pages are sunned. Book corners are worn. Binding is still very good.

First published in London in 1883, Town Life in Australia gives a fascinating and unusually frank account of daily life in Victorian Australia.

Twopeny was the son of a South Australian archdeacon and was for many years the editor of the Pastoral Review, both of which makes his frankness about colonial life all the more remarkable.

The author covers amusements and culture of the day, domestic life, politics and city life in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. (back cover)
