His Australian diary held in the State Library of Victoria’s Australian Manuscripts Collection is published in its’ entirety in this book. It records Snell’s voyages to and from the colonies and tells of his experiences in South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria — where, after spending some months on the goldfields near Bendigo, he won the contract to build the Geelong-Melbourne railway.
