A Sydney-Side Saxon

Focusing on his experiences in Australia, Thomas Alexander Browne, known as Rolf Boldrewood, explores themes of pastoral life and bushranging in his works. With a career spanning over forty years, he gained recognition for his 1882 novel, Robbery Under Arms. His early contributions to the Cornhill Magazine and the Australian reflect his insights into the challenges and adventures of Australian life. Notably, his story Ups and Downs was published in 1878 and later reissued as The Squatter's Dream in 1890, highlighting the evolving narrative of the Australian experience.
