The main aim was to climb the highest mountains there as well as to collect biological and ethnological specimens. There he succeeded in climbing to within 150 m of the summit of the Carstensz Pyramid, at 4884 m the highest peak on the island, and one not summited until 1962. He is commemorated in the names of a bat, a skink (lizard) and a frog from New Guinea. After the second expedition, Wollaston wrote a detailed account of the journey and adventures, but he was strictly careful to give only True Relations and Descriptions of Things.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is an exciting account of the author's thrilling adventures in New Guinea. A. F. R. Wollaston was an English medical doctor, botanist, and explorer. Wollaston decided to spend his life on exploration and natural history. He traveled broadly and wrote books about his travels and work. He includes vivid descriptions of the place, his experiences, and his interactions with the people. Wollaston took part in the BOU Expedition to the Snowy Mountains of Netherlands New Guinea in 1910–11. The primary goal was to climb the highest mountains there and collect biological and ethnological specimens. The expedition was unsuccessful in its chief aim mainly because of the muddling by the Dutch authorities. Later in 1912 and 1913, Wollaston led a second expedition popularly known as the Wollaston Expedition to New Guinea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographing Papua is a study of photography in the public domain in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It argues that southeastern New Guinea, known as British New Guinea and then as Papua when it became an Australian colony, was created as a geographical place through visual representation in illustrated magazines and newspapers, lavishly illustrated travelogues and mission hagiography, serial encyclopedia, lantern slides and postcards. Readers :knew" Papua because many thousands of black and white photographs of Papuans, villages and material culture rapidly swamped the reading public once the process of halftone, newsprint reproduction became possible. In an innovative and breakthrough fashion Photographing Papua switches attention from a few well known prints in museums and archives, in some cases repeatedly reproduced, but mostly rarely seen outside of scientific and scholarly circles. It deals instead with thousands of photographs, often used in ways not intended when the photograph was taken, but which editors and publishers (and subsequent photographers) gradually made conform to an iconographic imperative, a sort of abbreviated visual gallery of "natives" and a quick-access pathway to the actual and imagined lives of Papuans in the "last Unknown" as New Guinea was titled. It is a study of representation, colonialism, cross-cultural encounters and the early world of illustrated media and photo-journalism.
