Mount Desolation

Mount Desolation by Carlton Dawe is about the adventures of young Mr. Tom Stanford and his young girlfriend as they explore the infamous Mount Desolation of Australia. Excerpt: «What a string of questions she asked, never waiting for a reply! Oh, yes—thus went her prattle—she had been to school at Melbourne, but not for the last two years. During that period she had been „out.“ She had not been to Koorabyn forever so long—not since she was fifteen. She was twenty now. Fancy!—wasn't she getting old?»
