Publisher's Synopsis
Landsborough's Exploration of Australia from Carpentaria to Melbourne: With Reference to the Settlement of Available Country is a historical book written by William Landsborough and first published in 1866. The book chronicles Landsborough's journey through the vast and largely uncharted Australian continent, from the Gulf of Carpentaria in the north to Melbourne in the south. Landsborough was an experienced explorer and bushman who led several expeditions into the Australian interior during the mid-19th century. In this book, he describes the challenges and rewards of traversing the rugged and often hostile terrain of the Australian outback. He also provides detailed observations of the flora, fauna, and Indigenous cultures he encountered along the way. One of the main focuses of the book is on the potential for settlement and development of the land he explored. Landsborough believed that there was ample available country in Australia that could be used for agriculture and pastoralism, and he makes recommendations for how this could be achieved. Overall, Landsborough's Exploration of Australia from Carpentaria to Melbourne is a fascinating and informative account of one man's intrepid journey through the heart of Australia, and his vision for the future of the continent.With A Chart, And A Systematic Arrangement Of Carpentarian Plants.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
