| Summary | "Personal Recollections of Early Melbourne and Victoria" by William Westgarth is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's personal experiences and observations as he returns to Melbourne after many years, reflecting on the development of the city and the surrounding region from its early days as a fledgling settlement to its growth into a significant urban center. The narrative captures both the challenges and triumphs of early colonization, including the interactions with Aboriginal communities and the changes brought about by European settlement. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the scene for his return journey to Victoria, sharing his anticipation for the sights and changes after an extended absence. He recalls the significant transformations that have occurred, hints at the improvements in transport since his original voyage to Australia, and reflects on the landscape and societal shifts he expects to witness. The initial chapters discuss the physical and social environment of early Melbourne, weaving in anecdotes that highlight the optimism and challenges faced by its early inhabitants. These vivid recollections serve as a backdrop for understanding how the city emerged from its humble beginnings into a vibrant and bustling community, rich in history and cultural interchange.
