About this ebook
The often harsh and unforgiving Australian landscape was a far cry from what the early colonisers were used to, and it proved a daunting obstacle to settlement. AUSTRALIA'S GREAT EXPLORERS looks at the tragedies and triumphs of men such as Wentworth and Lawson, Hume and Hovell, Burke and Wills, Leichhardt and Strzelecki as they battled to conquer the Great Diving Range, find an elusive inland sea, and traverse the length and breadth of this great country.

excellent read. it's a disgrace the governments of this country have ignored the importance of the generations to come understand and are taught the hardships endured and the tenacity of explorers and pioneers who established this nation. Australia is one nation. We all arrived in this country the difference being the time.
