The book was by John Chandler and was originally published late 19th century but I think it was reprinted as a facsimile edition about 20 years ago.

I can't remember the character's name but it was based on the true account of a person who, as a child, came to Victoria in the pre-goldrush era. He grew up to own a bullock team and plied the route from Melbourne to Bendigo during the gold rush. Although the person may not be your relative, you might find it interesting to read of the type of life he led on the roads (or the lack of roads). There were chapters on floods and fires in Melbourne and the country, bush rangers etc. I think there were excerpts from his diary - from memory some of these rambled a bit, but all in all an interesting book.

Thanks Chris I have found an online supplier and ordered the book. Frightened after I had started to search at the values of some of my own books, think I should up my insurance, although a lot of my books are not available and I definitely need to improve my index.
