To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The surroundings of Coolgardie itself are so monotonous and tame that it was a most pleasant surprise to find quite delightful scenery so near at hand, and I spent a most enjoyable day on the estate. Although at the time of my, visit very little of the bungalow village was ready, still one could easily judge how fine the effect would be when the whole of the scheme had been carried out. The surrounding bush in this district differs very considerably from any other I had passed through, presenti...ng here and there to the eye most charming glimpses. It was almost like a peep at far- away Devonshire, and very refreshing indeed after the hideous tedium of the wilderness we had seen so much of. It is said that there exists in Western Australia no less than 3700 different species of indigenous plants, and to my mind all of these appeared to be represented in Hampton Plains ; for I do not think I ever saw a more startling show of wild flowers and shrubs, a wonderful testimony to the fertility of the soil, so much so that it appears extraordinary that this part of the country should have remained so long untouched.
