A former Parisian courtesan, bare-back-rider and polka dancer, Celeste de Chabrillan scandalised Melbourne when she arrived in 1854 as the Frenc Consul's wife. Her vivid first-hand memories of years spent in the diplomatic and government house circles and on the goldfields reveal her as a woman of great energyt and will.
