Full title: Australia Twice Traversed: The Romance of Exploration Being a Narrative Compiled From the Journals of Five Exploring Expeditions Into and Through Central South Australia and Western Australia From 1872 to 1876.
In 1872, Ernest Giles (1835-1897) set out to explore Central Australia and was subsequently inspired to cross Australia from east to west. The first volume of this set is his record of this historic expedition. The set volume continues Gile's account of his epic journeys across Australia between 1874 and 1876.
