Come Wind, Come Weather: A Biography of Alfred Howitt

This biography explores the life of Alfred William Howitt, an Australian anthropologist, explorer, and naturalist. It delves into his contributions to science and exploration, as well as his family background, including his connections to notable literary figures.

Son of the famous Victorian literary couple, Mary and William Howitt, he visited Victoria during the gold rushes and stayed to become one of the most interesting Australians of his time.

As the bushman who found the disastrous Burke and Wills expedition and rescued its sole survivor, as the explorer and geologist who mapped north Gippsland, as anthropologist, naturalist, farmer and police magistrate, he is a perfect example of those amazing Victorians who combine action with intellect.
