Outback: The Discovery of Australia's Interior by Derek Parker

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. All book corners are now protected with book tape. Interior and binding are still excellent.

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 of those intrepid European explorers who beat starvation, inadequate information, disease and loss, to forge a route that would enable the country's development.
