AUSTRALIANA Exploration Biography

‘A fascinating study of a loner who battled alcoholism and ill-health to push himself to the limits of endurance in crossing straight through the red centre to the northern seas. With meticulous research and narrative skill, John Bailey has brilliantly recreated the life of Australia’s greatest – and least understood – explorer.’ Stuart, John McDouall, 1815-1866. | Explorers — Australia — Biography. | Australia — Discovery and exploration — 1788-1851. xi, 335 p., [8] p. of plates : ill., maps, ports. ; 24 cm. #1019/301123/080324 First Edition
