Affiliation Notes

  • 19th-Century Australian Travel Writing

    David Kennedy, Junior (1849-1886), was a member of the Kennedy family of Scottish vocalists. Kennedy chronicled his family's journey of a tour round the world from 1872-6, with the family visiting the Australian colonies of Port Phillip, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, as well as New Zealand, the Sandwich Islands, America, Canada, and Newfoundland. Following these travels Kennedy published Kennedy's Colonial Travel, sections of the work previously appearing in Edinburgh newspapers the Daily Review and the North British Advertiser and Ladies' Journal. Of Australia, Kennedy reported in a conversational tone the attractions of Melbourne, travels to the gold-fields, describing the varying landscape and scenery, climate, travels to Sydney, as well as forays into the country to give the concerts that drove their travels.
