Free postage within Australia for this 1958 copy of a selection from writings of Australian explorers with an introduction by Kathleen Fitzpatrick, then Associate Professor of history at University of Melbourne. The blue cloth hardcover is slightly worn as can be expected, and the spine is rubbed at the top and the gold lettering has lost its lustre. The frontespiece and back page have some foxing but the rest of the pages are clear and clean. Fitzpatrick apologises for leaving out Tasmania, but there is a wealth of information in this book about many of the well-known explorers from the first crossing of the blue Mountains by Blaxland Lawson, and Wentworth in 1813.Map of explorations included.Heroic accounts battling heat, cold, lack of water and food.
