Outback : the discovery of Australia's interior
Parker, Derek, 1932-2007
Book
In 1800, while the coast of Australia had finally been charted, the vast interior of the continent from north to south and east to west lay undiscovered. This book is a collection of stories of those explorers who beat starvation, inadequate information, disease and loss, to forge a route which would enable the country's development.
