Ownership inscription on the front end paper: "LODGE, Blowering Station, Tumut NSW" On the title page: " Dearest Moreton and Honore'Ethel Anderson. "....At Parramatta appeared in the Bulletin in 1956, and is variously described as a novella and, to use a term coined by Frank Moorhouse, a collection of 'discontinuous narratives'. The two stories from At Parramatta I review below are included in Australian Short Stories, 'selected by Kerryn Goldsworthy'. The text itself doesn't say when they are set but I would guess around 1880 or earlier. The coachman is a 'murderer', and by implication a convict. Transportation to NSW ceased in the 1840s but I don't know for how long after that trusted convicts were let out as servants and labourers." (Australian Legends)
