Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at top edge and at spine. Tiny tear at spine top. Inscription on inside front cover, partially covered by book flap. Interior and binding are also very good.
The story of Australian European exploration and discovery is told through the diaries and logbooks of the explorers themselves.
Their plans, experiences and observations reveal the explorers' human reactions to the landscape's strangeness, their tiredness and disillusionment, their concern for their pack animals and their relief at the journey's end.
Beautifully illustrated throughout.
