Summary "Reminiscences of Queensland, 1862-1899" by William Henry Corfield is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles Corfield's personal experiences as an emigrant to Australia, detailing his adventures and observations in Queensland during the mid to late 19th century. The narrative is an exploration of life in the Australian bush, capturing the spirit and challenges faced by those who settled in this new land. The opening of the book introduces readers to Corfield's motivations for leaving England, sparked by tales from his uncle who owned a pastoral property in Queensland. Beginning his journey aboard the ship "City of Brisbane," he shares vivid portraits of the voyage, the diverse group of fellow passengers, and the initial impressions of the Australian landscape upon arrival in Brisbane. As he settles into his new life, Corfield recounts his early struggles and triumphs as he learns the ropes of bush life, highlighting his encounters with the local Indigenous population, as well as various challenges faced while working on his uncle's sheep station. The early chapters set a foundation for a personal and engaging account of a formative period in Queensland's history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
