Encountering Terra Australis: The Australian Voyages of Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders by Jean Fornasiero, Peter Monteath and John West-Sooby

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. General wear to book corners and edges. Stain on top foredge. Previous owner has signed inside page. Dust jacket is in very good condition with only minor creasing at spine.

Encountering Terra Australis traces the parallel lives and voyages of the explorers' Flinders and Baudin, as they travelled to Australia and explored the coastline of mainland Australia and Tasmania.

Unusually, the book takes its lead from the voyages of Baudin, rather than Flinders. Furthermore, the authors have sourced original accounts including material that has never before been available in English.
