Australia Twice Traversed is a book written by Ernest Giles, detailing his two exploratory journeys across the Australian continent in the late 1800s. The book is divided into two parts, each chronicling one of Giles' expeditions. The first journey, undertaken in 1872, saw Giles and his team travel from Adelaide to the west coast of Australia, covering over 3,000 miles of rugged terrain and encountering various challenges along the way. The second journey, completed in 1873, took Giles and his team from the west coast of Australia to the northern territory, covering a distance of over 1,500 miles. Throughout the book, Giles provides vivid descriptions of the Australian landscape, as well as insights into the indigenous peoples and wildlife encountered during his expeditions.
