"Letters from Australia" by John Martineau is a compilation of the author's 1867 letters from his time in Australia, filled with his observations and experiences. The letters capture colonial life, politics, and society, covering themes such as democracy's effects, the gold rush's impact, and the differences between English and Australian cultures. Martineau starts with his voyage, describing the challenges and boredom of being at sea, while painting a picture of life onboard the ship. As he approaches his destination, he shares his excitement, along with his initial discomforts, as he begins to consider the political and social climates of Victoria and Tasmania.
