A new edition of an Australian history classic. In 'Bearbrass', Robyn Annear resurrects the village that was early Melbourne - from the arrival of white settlers in 1835 until the first gold rushes shook the town - and brings it to life in vivid colour.
"Bearbrass" was one of the local names by which early Melbourne was known and Annear provides a fascinating living portrait of the street life of this town. This tenth anniversary edition includes: revisions and updates to the text, bringing it in line with today's city; an introduction reflecting on the enduring spirit of Bearbrass into the 21st century; and an index.
