"A Settler's 35 Years' Experience in Victoria, Australia" by E. Hulme is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book documents the author's personal journey as a settler in Victoria, Australia, reflecting on his life experiences, challenges, and triumphs over a span of thirty-five years. Its primary focus is on the migration of families seeking better opportunities in a burgeoning land, the challenges posed by the Australian wilderness, and the eventual establishment of a successful farming life. In this comprehensive narrative, E. Hulme shares his initial struggles upon arrival in Melbourne with only ten shillings, leading to his ventures in mining, where he worked diligently alongside family and fellow diggers. His account details the hardships of their early days, including illness and the harsh realities of life on the goldfields. As he transitions from mining to agriculture, he offers invaluable insights into farming practices, land selection, and the importance of perseverance and temperance. Through hard work and a strong sense of community, he narrates how a modest sum of £6 8s. grew into a substantial farm enterprise valued at £8,000, underscoring the potential for prosperity that awaits those who embrace the challenges of rural life.
