A unit reader which was available through the University Bookstore included extracts from poetic and journalistic accounts about the bushranger Dan Morgan, and similar supplementary material. You may like to link through to an image of "Morgan, the bushranger"* by the engraver Samuel Calvert and/or "Morgan sticking up the navvies, burning their tents, and shooting the chinaman"* (a wood-engraving by Robert Stewart) both of which are held online by the State Library of Victoria's Picture Collection. Stewart's wood-engraving relates to an incident involving Daniel Morgan and Chinese in Kyamba, New South Wales in around 1830-1865. The wood engraving was published in The illustrated Melbourne post.
