Originally published in 1847, this facsimile edition is part of Les Hiddens Stories of Survival. Leichhardt and his party explored over three thousand miles of completely unknown country in fourteen months, opening up a vast and valuable area of the interior.
Leichhardt's meandering journey from Brisbane to Port Essington ranks among Australia's most successful expeditions. (Trove)
