Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Explorers of Australia: And Their Life-Work In presenting to the public this history of those makers of Australasia whose work consisted in the exploration of the surface of the continent of Australia, I have much pleasure in drawing the reader's attention to the portraits which illustrate the text. It is, I venture to say, the most complete collection of portraits of the explorers that has yet been published in one volume. Some of them of course must needs be conventional; but many of them, such as the portrait of Oxley when a young man, and of A. C. Gregory, have never been given publicity before; and in many cases I have selected early portraits, whenever I had the opportunity, in preference to the oft published portrait of the same subject when advanced in years.

Download or read book The History of Australian Discovery and Colonisation Classic Reprint written by Samuel Bennett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-16 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Australian Discovery and Colonisation The intention of the writer of these outlines of the history of Australian discovery, settlement, and progress, is not to. Give a history of every voyage for Australian discovery, or a detail of every thing which has taken place in the progress of Australian colonisation, but to convey in a popular form such a general knowledge of the discovery and settlement of his, country as every Australian youth ought to possess; and to enable teachers to place before their pupils interesting and instructive lessons in a branch of education which has been hitherto almost, if not entirely, neglected. In order to sim plify and condense as much as possible the matter contained in the following chapters, the writer has thought it best not to encumber the text with authorities, references, and notes. Personal anecdotes, and matters of merely individual or private interest, have been introduced or alluded to very sparingly, and only in cases where they were considered necessary to illustrate or explain the condition of society, or to afford an insight into the characters of public men, public movements, or political changes.

The news of the safe arrival of the main body of the expedition at the Fitzroy River, Western Australia, after a series of forced night marches through what is described as the worst country in Greater Britain, was received with enthusiasm, and then for many weary months the heart of Australia palpitated with hopes and fears, until the announcement of the discovery of the bodies of the dead explorers put an end to the nation's suspense.

Download or read book The History of Australian Exploration From 1788 to 1888 written by Ernest Favenc and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Australian Exploration From 1788 to 1888: Compiled From State Documents, Private Papers, and the Most Authentic Sources of Information; Issued Under the Auspices of the Governments of the Australian Colonies A complete history of the exploration of Australia will never be written. The story of the settlement of our continent is necessarily so intermixed with the results Of private travels and adventures, that all the historian can do is to follow out the career of the public expeditions, and those of private origin which extended to such a distance, and embraced such important discoveries, as to render the results matters of national history. That private individuals have done the bulk of the detail work there is no denying; but that Work, although every whit as useful to the community as the more brilliant exploits that carried with them the publicity of Government patronage, has not found the same careful preservation. To find the material to write such a history would meces sitate the work of a lifetime, and the co-operation of hundreds of Old colonists; and, when written, it would inevitably, from the nature of the subject, prove most monotonous reading, and hi], I am afraid to think, how many volumes. The reader has but to consider the immense area of country now under pastoral occupation, and to remember that each countless subordinate river and tributary creek was the result of some extended research of the pioneer squatter, to realise this.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Australian Explorers; Their Labours, Perils, and Achievements: Being a Narrative of Discovery, From the Landing of Captain Cook to the Centennial Year The Story of the Exploration of Australia is one which we cannot willingly let die. There are many reasons for keeping alive the remembrance of such heroic deeds. It is due to the memory of those men who took their lives in their hands, and, in many cases, laid their bones in the desert; it is an act of gratitude on our part, who have entered on their labours; and it is a kind of information indispensable to every Australian who desires to know the history of his country. And yet there is great danger of their being practically forgotten. The time when the harvest of discovery was reaped has faded into the past, and a generation is growing up not well informed on these most interesting adventures and achievements. Nor are the sources of information easily obtainable by those who purposely put themselves on the search. The journals of the explorers, never too plentiful, have now become scarce. They are only occasionally met with in private hands, where they are, for good reasons, held as a treasure. A considerable number of these works are to be found in the Sydney School of Arts, but they have been withdrawn from circulation, and are now kept for special reference only, in a glass case, under lock and key.

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.
