Charles Joseph La Trobe was Superintendent of Port Philip District
and Victoria's first Lieutenant-Governor (1851-54), and his
administration, which coincided with the turbulent challenges of
the Victorian gold rushes, was highly controversial. He departed
from office a wearied and disappointed man whose contribution to
the development of the colony was not immediately recognised. As
Dianne Reilly shows in this fascinating investigation of the man,
La Trobe's actions, ideas, assumptions and behaviours during his
fifteen years in office in Melbourne may, however, be best
understood by an examination of the way his character was shaped,
especially by the influences on him of the Moravian faith and
education, by his passion for travel, and by the devotion and
support of his family and friends in England and in Switzerland.
