Synopsis
Excerpt from Explorations in Australia
As the history of the principal expeditions into the interior of Australia has been narrated by several able writers, I do not propose to repeat what has already been so well told. But, to make the narrative of my own journeys more intelligible, and to explain the motives for making them, it is neces sary that I should briefly sketch the expeditions undertaken for the purpose of ascertaining the nature of the vast regions intervening between Western and the other Australian colonies, and determining the possibility of opening up direct overland communication.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the three expeditions undertaken through the vast, unexplored interiors of Australia by John Forrest.

The author brings together journals, official instructions and other historical documents to provide a detailed narrative of each expedition, allowing readers to follow Forrest's journey across unknown lands, and sharing the hardships endured and discoveries made by this intrepid band of explorers.
