About This Book
The journals compile day-by-day accounts of overland explorations into Australia's poorly known interior, recording routes, bearings, and observations of rivers, lakes, hills, and coastal stretches; they document practical matters such as water sources, vegetation, wildlife, supplies, and the difficulties of travel and outfitting, and intersperse narrative diary entries with maps and technical notes. Several separate expeditions traverse western, northern, and central regions, aiming to identify grazing country and chart rivers and shores while reflecting on environmental constraints and the logistics of exploration.
