Yarra Yarra Or The Wandering Aborigine: A Poetical Narrative, In Thirteen Books is a book written by Kinahan Cornwallis and published in 1858. The book is a poetic narrative that tells the story of Yarra Yarra, an aboriginal man who wanders through the Australian bush, encountering various challenges and adventures along the way. The book is divided into thirteen books, each of which tells a different part of Yarra Yarra’s story. The poems are written in a lyrical and descriptive style, and the book provides a vivid portrayal of the Australian landscape and the indigenous people who lived there. The book is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the attitudes and beliefs of Europeans towards the indigenous people of Australia during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
