About this product
Product Information
In August 1844 a heavily-laden party led by Captain Charles Sturt set out from Adelaide to head into the unexplored vastness of central Australia. Amongst their equipment was a boat: as well as carrying out his mission of scientific investigation and mapping the topography, Sturt was convinced he would find the inland sea that was reputed to lie in the middle of the continent and so make his reputation. This is the first full publication of Sturt's original journals of the trip. They record the hardships of the journeying through the parched landscape, but also show how his efforts helped reveal the nature of much of the mysterious interior of Australia, and how, in a manner uncharacteristic of his times, he established respectful and co-operative relations with the Aborigines he encountered along the way.

Most professional-sounding & accurate description I've read yet on eBay. I had to look up just what, "very mild scattered foxing top text block edge" means. Best possibly shipping price. Probably can't improve on the packing. My only critique is that the listing photo should be higher resolution and there should be more than 1 picture. So I had to take a chance because the book was difficult to find in decent condition. I recommend this seller.
