Roebuck Society Publication No. 9

At the time of the establishment of the Swan River Colony in 1829, the knowledge of the geography of the interior of Western Australia was very limited. The idea of an inland sea or great river was commonly held.

Between 1846 and 1848, A C Gregory and his brother Frank, both surveyors, investigated the country lying between Kalgoorlie and Shark Bay. In 1954, the British Government appointed Gregory leader of the North Australian Expedition, with instructions to investigate the country to the south of the Victoria River and the Gulf of Carpentaria. Many of the sketches from the expedition are reproduced in this book.

In 1958, Gregory led an expedition to the Barcoo River in search of the missing explorer Leichhardt, while Frank Gregory further explored north-west Australia. Nothing was found in the explorations to suggest the presence of an inland sea (book jacket).
