Australian Sketches: The Gold Discovery, Bush Graves, Etc. is a book written by Thomas McCombie in 1861. The book is a collection of sketches that provide a glimpse into the life and culture of Australia during the mid-19th century. The first sketch in the book describes the discovery of gold in Australia and the subsequent gold rush that followed, which transformed the country's economy and society. The other sketches in the book cover various topics, including the harsh living conditions of the early settlers, the struggles of the indigenous people, and the unique flora and fauna of the Australian bush. McCombie's writing style is vivid and descriptive, providing readers with a detailed understanding of life in Australia during this time period. The book is an important historical document that provides insight into the early days of Australia's development and is a must-read for anyone interested in the country's history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
