Every child in Australia's education system studies Australia's explorers at least once. This is 'the' book on the subject. In context, fascinating, concise. Exploring Australia wasn't easy. First, someone had to find it. Then someone had to work out how much of it there was. Then someone had to find out what was in it. From ocean voyages to desert crossings, discover how European explorers put their lives on the line to fill in the map of Australia.
