Promotional Information

Historian Graeme Davison was never interested in family history. But when he discovered in his grandfather's notebook an account of the family's arrival in Melbourne in 1850 on the infamous ship Culloden, his interest was piqued. He uncovers a largely forgotten world of free selectors, water-powered mills and Methodist evangelists that became the backbone of the Australia we know today.

About the Author

Graeme Davison is Emeritus Professor of History at Monash University, and author of The Rise and Fall of Marvellous Melbourne and Car Wars, and editor of the Oxford Companion to Australian History.
