This work is concerned with the emergence of tourism in colonial Victoria, Australia, and is part of ongoing research into understanding the 'tourism era of discovery'. It deals with the processes of opening up new attractions and its focus is the embryonic or emergent phase in which natural attractions become the subject of tourist visitation. It is contextualized in the study of eight tourism sites that are the primary focus of this work.
