Lyra Australis: Or Attempts To Sing In A Strange Land is a book written by Caroline Woolmer Leakey and published in 1854. The book is a collection of poems that reflect the author’s experiences living in Australia, which was a strange and unfamiliar land to her. Leakey was a British poet who moved to Australia with her husband in the mid-19th century, and her poetry reflects her struggles to adapt to a new environment and culture. The poems in Lyra Australis cover a range of themes, including the natural beauty of the Australian landscape, the challenges of living in a new place, and the author’s feelings of homesickness and longing for England. The book is considered an important work of Australian literature, as it provides a unique perspective on life in the country during the colonial era. Overall, Lyra Australis is a moving and insightful collection of poetry that captures the spirit of a time and place in Australian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
