CD-ROM. Title from disc label. "AUF0070 Gould Genealogy" -- Sticker on container. From cover: Written in 1863 by Benjamin Arthur Heywood, this book describes the author's tour in 1861-1862 through Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, Queensland and New Zealand. After an introductory chapter giving a brief historical sketch of the antipodes, Heywood describes his impressions of each of the places commenting on the travel, flora, fauna, government, cities, churches, charities, education, mines and much more. An excellent background read for anyone interested in the colonies during this period. There is an excellent selection of plates, a map of eastern Australia showing routes of explorers with dates of discoveries, boundaries, colonies and place names and a map of New Zealand showing counties and locations of the eighteen native tribes.
