Adventures in Australia, by W.H.G. Kingston.
________________________________________________________________________
A couple of young men go to Australia to stay awhile with the uncle of
one of them. While on the way up to the uncle's station they meet with
various adventures.
During the book we are introduced to various of the animals of
Australia, the kookaburra, the wombat, the kangaroo, the wallaby, and
many others. We also meet with the aboriginal occupiers of the land.
Finding that they like the life in Australia, the two young men decide
to settle, and they buy, with the uncle's assistance, an area of land on
which to create a station.
This is not a long book, but it is amply illustrated. Some of the
drawings are very nice indeed.
You will enjoy this book, and it makes a good audiobook.
