Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Trickett argues that in the year 1522, the Portuguese sailed past Fraser Island into Botany Bay, and around Wilson's Promontory as far as Kangaroo Island before returning to their base in Malacca via the North Island of New Zealand. A century before the Dutch and 250 years before Captain Cook. (back cover)
