Wollaston Journals

An annotated collection of diary entries written by John Wollaston, a pioneer of Western Australia. The first of a three-volume set, this journal covers the period March 1840 to August 1842. Wollaston was an observant writer who included lively accounts of shipboard life and the setting up of his parish, St Mark's, at Picton. His honest description of life in Australia's alien environment is a valuable primary source document. Wollaston went on to become rector at Albany and the colony's first archdeacon. Includes an index. Co-editor Geoffrey Bolton, Professor of History at the University of Queensland, also wrote the preface.Wollaston, John Ramsden is the author of 'Wollaston Journals' with ISBN 9781875560011 and ISBN 1875560017.
