Appendix
Box List
Clark wrote the drafts of this book in the last months of his life. After his death the four chapters were edited by Dymphna Clark, who reduced them to three: Wanting to tell the story, Learning to tell the story, Trying to tell the story. The book also contained two excerpts from A history of Australia on W.C. Wentworth and Robert O’Hara Burke. It was published by Melbourne University Press in 1992.
This series contains Clark’s manuscript and three typescript drafts.
