Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.
Matthew Flinders on the Victorian Coast tells in the words of the explorer Matthew Flinders the detailed absorbing story of the discovery of the Victorian coast.
Shipwrecked seamen, convicts, a surgeon, and bluff sea captains all play a part in tracing the outline of what was then one of the loneliest coasts in the world. It was left to Flinders in the Investigator, during a short spectacular visit to co-ordinate their isolated discoveries in accurate charts and to provide the first body of scientific knowledge of the area.
