BiographyHistory

It seems likely that E. P. R was Elizabeth Patricia Ramsay (a.k.a. Elizabeth Ramsay-Laye, Isabel Massary). The novel A Romance of the Bush was apparently written at Rosalie Plains in 1851, and Elizabeth Ramsay's brother Robert had taken up land at Rosalie Plains in the Darling Downs in 1839. The book's dedication was 'To R. R. Esq, this little tale is dedicated by his attached sister, E. P. R.'. However, while the author of A Romance of the Bush claimed to have lived in northern Australia for several years, no evidence has been found that Elizabeth Ramsay visited Australia before 1853.
