No Gold In Melbourne: A Scottish Family In Australia

This book is about a Scottish family: mother, father and five children, who emigrated to Australia in the 1850s, settling in Melbourne. The eldest son was a carpenter, and he got a job working for a goldmine in Collingwood. He was 31, married, and with five children, when he had an accident in the mine shaft, dying a few weeks later. The book examines the effect this had on the whole family, for generations to come. The author is the great great grandson of the man who was killed.
