Summary "An Australian Ramble; Or, A Summer in Australia" by J. Ewing Ritchie is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. This work details Ritchie's observations and experiences as he travels from England to Australia, exploring various cities and areas, while also reflecting on the cultural and social aspects of colonial life. The narrative delves into topics including the maritime journey on the steamship "Orizaba", encounters with fellow travelers, and the landscapes of both the Old World and the New. The opening of the book sets the stage for Ritchie's adventure as he describes his decision to travel to Australia after hearing about its prolonged drought. He embarks on the journey, highlighting the luxurious facilities aboard the ship and the process of coaling at Port Said in Egypt. Ritchie reflects on the historical significance of the places he passes, such as Gibraltar and Naples, while engaging with the various characters encountered during his travels, including a bishop and fellow passengers. His witty observations and vivid descriptions create an engaging introduction, illustrating both his excitement for the journey ahead and the contrasts between English and colonial life.
