The Draper in Australia is a memoir written by George Willmer, originally published in 1856. The book details Willmer's experiences during his three-year stay in Australia, where he worked as a draper and traveled extensively throughout Victoria and New South Wales. The narrative is divided into three sections, each focusing on a different aspect of Willmer's journey. The first section describes his time spent at the gold fields, where he worked as a storekeeper and witnessed the excitement and dangers of the gold rush. The second section details his adventures in the bush, where he encountered Indigenous Australians and learned about their culture and way of life. The final section explores Willmer's experiences in the chief cities of Victoria and New South Wales, where he worked as a draper and interacted with the diverse population of the colonies.Throughout the book, Willmer provides vivid descriptions of the Australian landscape, wildlife, and people. He also offers insights into the social and economic conditions of the colonies during this period of rapid growth and development. The Draper in Australia is a valuable historical document that provides a unique perspective on life in mid-19th century Australia.With Information And Advice Adapted For The Intending Emigrant And Others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
