Benjamin Boyd in Australia (1842-1849) Shipping Magnate; Merchant; Banker; Pastoralist and Station Owner; Member of the Legislative Council; Town Planner; Whaler.


This promotional pamphlet is a relic of the early days of the Australian motoring community, a marketing tool to get families with newly-acquired motor vehicles to explore the countryside and extend their range and knowledge of their country. Complete with advertisements for hotel accommodation near the region explored in the commentary, this history of Boydtown near Eden on New South Wales' south coast, focuses on the life and mystery of its founder, Benjamin Boyd. This tantalising enigma, along with various insights into the establishment of a NSW colonial town and the development of the whaling industry in Australia will prove fascinating reading for the intrepid researcher.


Published by D.S. Ford, Sydney NSW, Australia, no date. (circa 1940). Eighth edition: octavo-sized small folio; stapled pamphlet in paper wrappers, 48 pages with black & white illustrations.
