Frontier and pioneer life -- Australia -- Queensland
=Sydney Morning Herald:= "This is a prettily got up little book, in
which the music of old songs or old melodies has been set to verses
having reference to this country. The verses are in every case simple
and good, suited to children and to the illustration by action for which
directions are given in a foot note. 'Australia Fair,' to a melody by
Gluck, is the tune which the late Carl Formes and Signor Foli made
popular as 'The Mill Wheel.' 'The Gum Tree,' to the tune of 'Banker's
Wallet,' is a capital song for little children, and 'The Bonnie Orange
Tree,' to the tune of 'Come, Landlord, Fill your Flowing Bowl,' has
really charming verses. 'The Little Grey Bandicoot,' again, has
first-rate verse. The publication as a whole should prove popular."
