A Colonial Reformer, Vol. 2

Focusing on the author's diverse career, Thomas Alexander Browne, known as Rolf Boldrewood, was an influential Australian writer who balanced roles as a squatter, government official, and author over several decades. His notable works include the bushranging novel Robbery Under Arms and the pastoral-themed Ups and Downs: A Story of Australian Life, which was later reissued as The Squatter's Dream. Browne's contributions to literature reflect his deep engagement with Australian life and culture throughout the 19th century.
