Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.Heavy foxing to top foredge. Body text and binding are still very good.

In 1800, while the coast of Australia had finally been charted, the vast interior of the continent from north to south and east to west lay undiscovered. By 1874, its lands had been all but "won".

This book is a collection of stories about those intrepid European explorers who overcame starvation, inadequate information, disease, and loss to forge a route that would enable the country's development.
