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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a British Empire that stretched across much of the globe at the start of the nineteenth century, the interiors of Africa and Australia remained intriguing mysteries. The challenge of opening these continents to imperial influence fell to a proto-professional coterie of determined explorers. They sought knowledge, adventure, and fame, but often experienced confusion, fear, and failure. The Last Blank Spaces follows the arc of these explorations, from idea to practice, from intention to outcome, from myth to reality. Those who conducted the hundreds of expeditions that probed Africa and Australia in the nineteenth century adopted a mode of scientific investigation that had been developed by previous generations of seaborne explorers. They likened the two continents to oceans, empty spaces that could be made truly knowable only by mapping, measuring, observing, and preserving. They found, however, that their survival and success depended less on this system of universal knowledge than it did on the local knowledge possessed by native peoples. While explorers sought to advance the interests of Britain and its emigrant communities, Dane Kennedy discovers a more complex outcome: expeditions that failed ignominiously, explorers whose loyalties proved ambivalent or divided, and, above all, local states and peoples who diverted expeditions to serve their own purposes. The collisions, and occasional convergences, between British and indigenous values, interests, and modes of knowing the world are brought to the fore in this fresh and engaging study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Australian Exploration to 1856 This thesis has been written in accordance with the requirements of the Tinline Scholarship, and it has, therefore, been deemed advisable to preserve the spelling of the original maps and accounts. Thus in the map of Governor Grey's route the name Mt. Schanck appears, while in that of Captain Sturt's Murray journey it reads as Shanks Mount, though the accepted modern spelling is Schank. I would like to thank Sir George Murray, K.C.M.G., who founded the Tinline Scholarship; also the Board of Governors of the Public Library for publishing my thesis, and particularly Professor G. C. Henderson, M.A., Mr. Thos. Gill, I.S.O., C.M.G., and Mr. B. S. Roach for supervising the publication of maps and revising my manuscript. Through the courtesy of Mr. E. M. Smith, I.S.O., then Surveyor-General, I was able to secure much useful information, receiving valuable assistance from the late Mr. Charles Hope Harris, of the Survey Department. Mr. H. C. Talbot compiled the map showing the route of J. A. Horrocks. To Mr. A. W. Piper, K.C., I was indebted for permission to use the York Gate Library. In conclusion I wish to express my appreciation of the kindness of the late Mr. J. R. G. Adams, the General Secretary of the Public Library, and to thank the other officials of that institution, who have given me all possible aid.

Download or read book My Adopted Country Australia written by Erwin Feeken and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book begins with a chapter on homeland memories, followed by the authors and his wifes first experiences in Australia in 1954. For the first decade they moved from place to place, finally settling down in Canberra. These adventures are expressed in chapters on Tasmania, Darwin, a 15month stay in Canberra, Grafton, and finally Canberra again. The family, now with five daughters, settled in the National Capital where Mr Feeken became permanently employed as a draftsman and cartographer with the Bureau of Mineral Resources (now Geoscience Australia). Being interested in Australian Exploration, the family travelled year after year, checking out explorers discoveries, culminating in the publication of The Discovery and Exploration of Australia in 1970. Afterwards, the family still travelled, year after year, the vast expanses of the Australian Continent, often checking out explorers routes. After the untimely death of Mrs Feeken in 2005, the author was encouraged by friends to write up this story. The fascination for travelling the outback continued into the next generation. In 2007, Mr Feeken travelled with his granddaughter Kiah around Australia and to the centre, covering nearly 30 000 km in 6 months.
