A classic of Australian history; this book provides the detailed story of the men who created or were caught up in the land boom fever; and of their personal triumph or destruction. It tells the story of colonial Victoria; made rich by gold and populous by the immigrants who followed. The flourishing economy saw speculation rewarded; and no apparent limits to expansion. The depression which followed was a catastrophe; the supreme crisis for the colony.
