Description: First Edition; Demy 8vo; pp. xi, 198; family tree of the Oswins of Newstead, 1 full page map, b/w., text illustrated with numerous b/w. photographs, glossary, bound in original stiff illustrated wrappers, fine copy. Dromana; Loch Haven Books; 1991. In dog-eared school exercise books, Georgina Oswan, a mother of seven, recorded the simple pleasures and struggles of life in rural Australia in the 1880's. Her handwriting was untidy, and she had a "sublime disregard" for spelling and punctuation but her diaries describe vividly her large family's daily household chores, farming activities, squabbles and passing love affairs. Fascinating record of colonial social history which has been brought together by a kinswoman.
