Fix this textPaul Maguire- An Appreciation
Fix this textBy FRANCES FLYNN.
Fix this textTHE 4 other day I came upon a book
Fix this textcalled “Australian Journey” by
Fix this textPaul Maguire. The copy I had was
Fix this textpresented by Mr. Hume Cook to the
Fix this textAustralian Literature Society, so I am
Fix this textindebted to him for the joys of read-
Fix this texting it and writing an appreciation of
Fix this textit.
Fix this textApart from this book, and the few
Fix this textpress comments on his visit to Aus-
Fix this texttralia, I know nothing of Paul Maguire,
Fix this textwhose birthplace was Peterborough,
Fix this textnot far from Pt. Pirie.
Fix this textHis mother, as a young woman, was
Fix this texta teacher at Wallaroo on Spencer Gulf,
Fix this textand his father, at 20, in charge of a
Fix this textgroup of railway linesmen. He eventu-
Fix this textally became director of S.A. railways.
Fix this textHis parents were pioneers in a part
Fix this textof South Australia which is now a
Fix this textlink between East and West, North
Fix this textand South of our continent.
Fix this textAt the age of seven Paul Maguire
Fix this textcame to live in Adelaide and was the
Fix this textonly child in his school who had seen
Fix this textsnow.
Fix this textPaul Maguire views our problems
Fix this textthrough Australian eyes, with the wid-
Fix this texter vision of the travelled, cultured man
Fix this textwho knows America and Europe, and
Fix this textso has a more accurate perspective
Fix this textthan many of us who are less favour-
Fix this texted. -
Fix this textHis book has the purpose of arous-
Fix this texting Australians to a sense of responsi-
Fix this textbilities chiefly .that we cannot con-
Fix this texttinue to hold this land of 3,000,000
Fix this textsquare miles, equal in area to the
Fix this textUnited States, with a dwindling popu-
Fix this textlation of less than 7 millions
Fix this text(6,600,000 according to Sir Jas. Bar-
Fix this textrett, whose graphs at an A.L.S. meet-
Fix this texting recently were most enlightening),
Fix this textwhile near neighbours, Java to the
Fix this textN. W. has an increasing crowded popu-
Fix this textlation of 42,000,000 and Japan to the
Fix this textNorth 84,000,000.
Fix this textHe thinks it wise to let the Japan-
Fix this textese luggers, pearlers etc., visit our
Fix this textNorth if they truly report what they
Fix this textobserve that much of Australia
Fix this textis not the fertile land generally sup-
Fix this textposed, and that wind erosion of t soil
Fix this textis creating more desert lands. Mostly
Fix this texthe seems to be writing for non-Aus-
Fix this texttralian readers.
Fix this textHis book begins by tracing the vari-
Fix this textous sea-routes to Australia and com-
Fix this textpares the different features and char-
Fix this textacteristics of Australian capital cities
Fix this textwith each other. They are not uni-
Fix this textformly alike. Their rivalries, particu-
Fix this textlarly Melbourne and Sydney, spring
Fix this textfrom notable differences in tempera-
Fix this textment. Sydney belongs to the sun, but
Fix this textMelbourne possesses its own soul in
Fix this textsturdy earnestness.
Fix this textWhen Melbourne’s first settler land-
Fix this texted on the muddy banks of the Yarra,
Fix this texthe looked on the scene and said: “This
Fix this textwill be the place for a village.” He
Fix this textwas already a citizen of Melbourne,
Fix this textand with no nonsense about him. Mel-
Fix this textbourne still has that tempered, sober
Fix this textmind, and it rolls Batman’s phrase
Fix this texton its tongue with enduring relish.
Fix this textBut when the first colonists landed
Fix this textin Sydney, they all, convicts and sol-
Fix this textdiers, got uproariously drunk. Ido
Fix this textnot mean to suggest that Sydney con-
Fix this texttinues to get drunk ...”
Fix this textHere are some brief extracts from
Fix this textthe book:
Fix this text“A culture is not soulless. It must
Fix this textbe informed by spiritual values and
