Ernest Favenc's adventure book "Marooned on Australia" takes place in the late 19th century in the Australian outback. The narrative recounts the adventure of two Englishmen named Jack and George after they are shipwrecked off the coast of Western Australia and have to make their way through a hostile and foreign environment in order to reach a place of settlement. The Australian bush, its flora and animals, and the difficulties faced by those who attempted to tame it are vividly described in Favenc's book. The book also examines the cultural conflict that existed between the Australian aborigines and the English colonizers, illuminating the intricate and frequently bloody history of European settlement on the continent. Favenc gives readers a look into a bygone age and the hardships experienced by people who tried to forge a new life in a difficult and unforgiving environment through the exploits of Jack and George.

With an introduction by Cheryl Taylor. Tales of the Austral Tropics (1894) is a collection of short stories published in the Sydney Bulletin in the 1890s. Set in tropical northern Australia, Favenc brings to life the half-unknown and mysterious regions of this part of Australia at this time. The tales exude themes of the bush and bring together elements of the sensational and supernatural that are characteristic of Favenc's work. This is one of a number of works that have earned him a place in Australian literary history. This new edition of Tales of the Austral Tropics, with an introduction by Cheryl Taylor, is a part of the Australian Classics Library series intended to make classic texts of Australian literature more widely available for the secondary school and undergraduate university classroom, and to the general reader. The series is co-edited by Emeritus Professor Bruce Bennett of the University of New South Wales and Professor Robert Dixon, Professor of Australian Literature at the University of Sydney, in conjunction with SETIS, Sydney University Press, AustLit and the Copyright Agency Limited. Each text is accompanied by a fresh scholarly introduction and a basic editorial apparatus drawn from the resources of AustLit.

The history of early Australian science fiction has been well chronicled by literary historians. In searching for a synthesis of colonial Australian science fiction, they generally identify three genres into which most Australian science fiction of the period can be placed: lost civilisation novels, (including Lemurian and utopian novels); historical fantasies, which re-imagined Australia's colonial past (particularly the history of Australian exploration); and future invasion or future political novels (which dramatized fears of racial invasion or social chaos resulting from political upheaval or natural disasters like plague).In the short form, early Australian science fiction is more heterogeneous. There were more outlets for the short form and more short stories were published, so we would expect a wider range of themes and subject matter, and indeed this is the case. The stories collected here indicate something of the richness and variety of science fiction written by Australian authors up the mid-1930s. We see some of the themes mentioned above, for example the lost civilisation story (Phil Collas's "The Inner Domain") and the future invasion story (Ernest Favenc's "What the Rats Brought"), but they offer something new and original, while other stories are built on the consequences of technological discoveries or advancements, for example Ernest Favenc's "The Land of the Unseen," H.B. Marriott Watson's "The Instrument," and Beatrice Grimshaw's "Lost Wings."
