Henry Handel Richardson

The Getting of Wisdom by Henry Handel Richardson

Published in 1917, this was the first volume in Richardson's trilogy, The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. Dr. Richard Townshend-Mahony—a character based on Richardson's father—has come to Australia in search of gold, but finds instead love, marriage, and disillusionment.

Australia Felix was originally published as The Fortunes of Richard Mahony: Australia Felix, with the subtitle appearing only on the title page. "Australia Felix" is a description used by explorer Major Thomas Mitchell in 1836 for the lush plains he discovered between the Murray River and the south coast of Victoria, including the area that later became the site of Ballarat.
