These marvelously entertaining and erudite stories describe the sensational rise and progress of Western Australia after the discovery of gold, and the role of newspapers in Australian political life at the turn of the 19th century. The author, Sir John Kirwan, a talented Irish journalist, was editor and part-owner of two Australian newspapers and an influential voice in politics as a strong advocate for parliamentary representation of the goldfields population. He became a free trade politician and served in the Lower and Upper Houses of the Western Australian Parliament.
