Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are still very good.

Using journals and contemporary reports of the explorers, Hooper has written an absorbing account of the expeditions undertaken by Lieutenant George Grey, Lieutenant John Lort Stokes RN, Edward John Eyre, Ludwig Leichhardt, Captain Charles Sturt, Sir Thomas Mitchell, Edmund Kennedy, August Charles Gregory, John McDouall Stuart, Burke and Wills, King and Gray, John McKinlay, Colonel Peter Egerton Warburton, John Forrest, Ernest Giles and David Wynford Carnegie.

Often ill-equipped and under-prepared, the expeditions faced two perpetual threats - hunger and thirst. (book flap)
