Antique

The trilogy (Australian Felix, 1917; The Way Home, 1925; and Ultima Thule, 1929) is loosely based on the lives of the author’s parents, Walter Lindesay Richardson and Mary Bailey and follows the rise and fall of a family during Australia’s Victorian-era gold rush.

The medieval term “ultima Thule” refers to a distant unknown region; the extreme limit of travel and discovery.
