READ EXCERPTS FROM THIS VOLUME
This Volume records 65 expeditions, including many that were previously unknown.
For the first time all the colour plates of John Forrest’s major transcontinental expedition in 1874 are now readily available. To The Golden Land includes more than 150 illustrations and maps.
This Volume completes Western Australian Exploration for the southern half of the state. The Exploration Diaries are the foundations, substantial as they are, of many hundreds of other publications. At the same time they form an 'inconvenient truth' for other proposed writings.
From the Foreword by Mark G. Creasy:
"That such accounts have been ignored for over a century is regrettable. Now being collected and published they give new horizons to the many who will benefit from the ideas and fortitude of those early explorers and prospectors."
