Notes

  • Author's note: 'Part 2, "Drought and Doctrine", picks up lines from a hotchpotch of period pieces from the mid-19th century through to late Victorian or Edwardian times. This cento embraces Victorian ideas of progress and civilisation, pastoral expansion, disappointed hopes, the discovery of gold, and what William Lane called the "working man's paradise" - a dream of social equality and contentment.' (Source: Editorial p. 8)
