Description
Previous knowledge of Willem de Vlaminghs 16967 voyage to Terra Australis has been based on his ships logs. But Phillip Playfords discovery of a hand-written French translation of Vlaminghs personal journal from the voyage now provides, through this beautifully produced book, much greater insight into this major event in Australias history.
