One of the most critical environmental challenges facing both Californians and Australians in the 1860s involved the aftermath of the gold rushes. This book demonstrates how Californians and Australians shared plants, insects, technology, and dreams, creating a system of environmental exchange that transcended national and natural boundaries.
