He emigrated from Britain to Melbourne in 1859 and began working for The Age newspaper. He then moved to South Australia and in 1861 he wrote a series of articles for the Adelaide Advertiser on the vineyards and orchards of South Australia. In 1864 he returned to Melbourne and undertook a similar commission for The Age writing a series of articles on a number of the vineyards of Victoria. The articles provide a valuable and unique account of the emerging pre-phylloxera Victorian wine industry with descriptions of the founders of the Geelong Western District Ballarat and Bendigo. The series is incomplete as neither the Yarra Valley nor Sunbury are mentioned; perhaps because Ward returned to South Australia to take up a new position. Unlike the South Australian articles the Victorian articles were apparently not published in pamphlet form. Scarce. A near fine copy. § OCLC records two holdings in the USA fourteen in Australia and one in the UK. § Gabler 42792; not in Noling; Sullivan's Cove unknown
