What reading level is The Dominion of Australia An Account of Its Foundations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the heads of this watershed are not so different in soil from those of other inland streams, as in tempera- ture and exposure ; for the heads of the Lachlan, the Mac- quarie, and of the Namoi, all tributaries of the Darling-river system, alike rise in tracts of downs, of the richest soils, beautiful climates, and ample rainfalls for growing wheat. Upon these downs are the old and rich settlements of Goulburn, Bathurst, and Liverpool Plains ; all are rich in wheat, oats, maize, and the most ...familiar crops.
The proportion of the land cropped in New South Wales which is devoted to wheat is fully one-third ; some- what less is under maize, another large proportion under food for cattle; and among the remaining produce we find many products of many climes : there are tobacco, sugar and arrowroot, vines, beetroot, and hops. The vine covers large areas in all parts of the southern colonies, and perhaps is particularly suited to New South Wales, for it loves dry stony ridges in a dry climate ; it will grow best where no floods can reach ; and a large portion of this colony is of that description.
