Thirty Years In Australia is a memoir written by Ada Cambridge, an English-born Australian writer, and poet. The book was first published in 1903 and recounts Cambridge's experiences living in Australia for three decades. The memoir is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Cambridge's life in Australia. She writes about her arrival in Melbourne in 1870, her marriage to Reverend George Frederick Cross, and their life together in various towns and cities throughout Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland. Cambridge also describes the natural beauty of Australia, including the flora and fauna she encountered, as well as the challenges of living in a harsh and unforgiving environment. She writes about the impact of droughts, floods, and bushfires on the communities she lived in, and the resilience of the people who faced these challenges. Throughout the memoir, Cambridge reflects on her personal growth and development as a writer and poet, and the role that Australia played in shaping her artistic vision. She also provides insights into the social and cultural landscape of Australia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including attitudes towards race, gender, and class.
