The vignette at the head of the text shows settlers confronting Aborigines. It is a woman’s account of early settlement in the Port Phillip District. Mrs. McGregor, née Kirkland, landed with her husband in January 1839 "at Point Henry, about eight miles from Corio, which is intended to be a town some future day" (p. 2).
