Download or read book European Discovery and Exploration of Australia written by Erwin Feeken and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 798 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The map of Australia abounds with fascinating geographical place-names, the origins of which have, for long, been hidden in the journals of our early explorers. Now after nine years of research, Erwin Feeken, a highly qualified cartographer, and his wife, Gerda, have finalised the first complete record of Australian geographical place-names and the most comprehensive general reference work on Australian exploration ever published. In European Discovery and Exploration of Australia, there are twenty-three beautifully drawn four-colour maps plus index showing the routes of more than 120 explorers with the locality of their named features numbered to accord with a Key to the Maps. The place-names in the Key have been numbered approximately in chronological order of their naming, though places found during a single expedition have been grouped together. There is also a gazetteer containing over four thousand place-names alphabetically arranged with notes on their origins. The map reference numbers (in brackets) form a cross-reference with the Key to the Maps. The work is introduced by a foreword from Lord Casey and an essay on the nature of Australian exploration by Professor O. H. K. Spate, director of the Research School of Pacific Studies, Australian National University. The text, comprising a survey of Australian exploration, is arranged in the form of biographies of the explorers (describing, for the first time, several almost unknown figures) with emphasis on their expeditions and under the following headings: “The Approach to Australia”; “Exploration before Settlement, 1606–1788”; “From Botany Bay to the Blue Mountains, 1788–1813”; “Land and Sea Expeditions, 1813–1901.” This section of the book is very fully illustrated with 18 full-colour plates and some 150 black-and-white photographs, mostly reproductions of early prints. Concluding the book are bibliographies of sources and references, a list of illustrations, and an index of explorers and ships. The comprehensive nature of this work will ensure that it becomes a valuable reference book for students, while the text and illustrations will appeal to all who are interested in our history. Collectors of Australiana will welcome this most attractive addition to the ever-increasing number of available publications.

Download or read book Landsborough s Exploration of Australia written by James Stuart Laurie and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landsborough's Exploration of Australia: From Carpentaria to Melbourne, With Especial Reference to the Settlement of Available Country This little volume was chiefly dictated, with the help of materials recorded in the log-book of the journey, by Mr. Landsborough himself. While the work relieved the tedium of a four months voyage to Australia, it was thought possible that the result might interest a certain section of the English public, and highly probable, that it would prove serviceable to the migratory portion of the Australian public, in affording simple and trustworthy information in reference to one of their most promising fields of enterprise. Embracing, as it does, a topic of scientific importance, the publication has been additionally prompted by the consideration that, however barren of sensational incidents an Australian "bush" journey necessarily is, the simple record of the exploration of a hitherto trackless region ought not to lie buried in oblivion.

Download or read book In Search of Burke and Wills written by Gordon Landsborough and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people have heard of Burke and Wills, who died while attempting to cross the Australian continent in 1861, but few will know of William Landsborough, a quiet, unassuming man, who in the middle of the 19th century, explored and opened up vast areas of land in north-eastern Australia to settlement and farming. He was considered such a good bushman and explorer that he was chosen to lead one of the four search parties sent out to look for Burke and Wills in 1861. In the process of this search, he became the first man to cross Australia from the Gulf of Carpentaria to Melbourne.Adding even more interest to this already fascinating story, is the account of William's boat trip north to the Gulf of Carpentaria to commence the search, during which he survived shipwreck and mutiny on one of the Barrier Reef islands.In his day, Landsborough's exploits were fêted, but now he is largely unknown, ironically perhaps because he was such a capable bushman and explorer that he lived to tell the tale.

This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Landsborough (1825-1886) was an explorer. He was born in Ayrshire, Scotland and went to Australia when a young man. In August 1861 he was placed in charge of an expedition to search for Burke and Wills, starting from the Gulf of Carpentaria. In the following November, Landsborough was presented with a service of plate valued at 500, and subsequently visited India and Europe. The Royal Geographical Society presented him with a gold watch for finding a practicable route from the north to the south of Australia. Landsborough returned to Australia and in 1865 became a member of the Queensland legislative council for one session. Towards the end of that year he was appointed police magistrate for the district of Burke. Finding Burketown extremely unhealthy he made Sweers Island his headquarters and from there did much local exploring. In June 1872, he was made inspector of brands for the Moreton district and held this position for the remainder of his life.
