Ambrose Vise’s indefatigable life spanned the early defining years of Australia and the Australian spirit-and he lived it to the fullest.After almost becoming a lawyer and frustrated with the opportunities available to him, Ambrose Vise left England for Australia only 100 years after Captain Cook had landed, following the promise of the Australian gold rush. ’Of course, I knew nothing of the conditions of life there, or that most of the goldfields had already been worked out...’Join Ambrose E. Vise as he recounts the story of his life since leaving England in 1888 on the Garonne as a 24 year old. Ambrose recounts vividly his life as a shearer, storekeeper, gold miner, and fruit farmer, and father in outback Queensland. Ambrose completes his autobiography in 1950 as an established member of the Buderim community (visit Vise Road), reflecting on his life and journey.’The energy and initiative in recording his memoirs in such bright and breezy fashion is to be commended and I feel sure that all who read them will find them to be not only useful and interesting but also very enjoyable reading.’ - Sir Francis Nicklin, Premier of Queensland, 1957-1968’A good yarn’ - David Wood, Vice President Buderim Historical Society
