Consistently treated as an early Australian utopia, probably because of its title, which is clearly ironic, but the novel does not fit any definition of utopia. Could be seen as describing Australia as a dystopia. The last page of the text (reproduced in the 1980 ed. on [78]) has an ad for a sequel that was never published, In New Australia: Being Nellie Lawton\&$\#$39;s Diary of a Happier Life. By John Miller [pseud.] which will present the eutopia to be found in the New Australia Co-operative Settlement Association. See 1888 Lane.
