Journal of Landsborough's expedition from Carpentaria, in search of Burke & Wills

A first-hand expedition journal recounts the coastal departure, maritime mishaps including a wreck that forced unloading and care for horses, and overland search efforts for a previously missing inland exploration party. It compiles daily reports, letters, route descriptions and a route map, detailing logistics, weather, interactions with naval support, provisioning and difficulties with animals, use of local Aboriginal assistance, and encounters with shipwrecked materials. Entries balance practical field notes with narrative episodes of crisis and salvage, tracing the party's movements along the Gulf of Carpentaria and the surrounding plains as they attempt to locate the lost explorers.
