An astute observer, throughout her life Caroline Thomas kept detailed diaries recording the joys and sorrows of family life in London and the Australian bush. Her diaries provide an insight into the busy social life of a girl in comfortable family circumstances at the time of London's Great Exhibition in 1851 and following her father's disgrace and flight to Australia, her forced migration to Sydney.Caroline's Diary reflects the fragility of life and her ability to adapt, whether it was the dangers of pregnancy and birth, the deaths of several of her eleven children, the chronic illnesses of her husband and the death of her sister in the Siege of Lucknow. The husband she adored moved her, often without notice, from the city life she had always known to the bush. We read how she made a comfortable home as a young bride at Buckinbah, Wellington, as a young mother at Saumarez in Armidale and later, with her growing family at Wivenhoe at Camden.

A very busy day. Lord and Lady Carrington arrived from England. Miss Harbord, 3 Gentlemen in Suite, 3 children, two nurses, two maids, 2 valets. Every room occupied. 47 to dinner-in State dining room-and 500 in the evening. All went off capitally. We got to bed soon after 2 a.m.' The reliable, hard-working and loyal Emma Southgate began her diary when she journeyed across rough seas and under stormy skies from England to Australia in 1884. She travelled as lady's maid to Lady Loch, wife of the newly appointed Governor of Victoria. When they arrived in Melbourne and took up residence in the magnificent Government House, Emma had the presence of mind to continue her record of daily life. The legacy of her diligence is published here for the first time. Through Emma's words we can relive the halcyon days of colonial times: sumptuous parties in elegant ballrooms and receptions on rolling lawns; stylish travel through the colonies of Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales and South Australia; holidays in a grand home at Mount Macedon; important international visitors; and the social whirl that accompanied occasions such as Melbourne Cup week. These events are charmingly described in Emma's diaries from a behind-the-scenes point of view-the weariness of having to serve tea to thousands of 'ladies and gentlemen', visits to the poor and excursions to the beach, illnesses among staff and the kindnesses of her employers. Emma's authentic evocation of her life sparkles. Unpretentious and forthright, Emma's words captivate the reader as they bring to life the people, the places and the times. Besides Emma's accounts, Helen Vellacott has placed the newspaper reports of the day that show the official view-often quite different from Emma's observations. In this way, and with intriguing additional comment and information, Diary of a Lady's Maid gives us an insight into early Australian society.
