Download or read book Journals of Expeditions of Discovery into Central Australia and Overland written by Edward John Eyre and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward John Eyre's 'Journals of Expeditions of Discovery into Central Australia and Overland' offers readers a detailed account of Eyre's adventurous journeys through the uncharted regions of Australia. Eyre's writing style is both informative and engaging, providing insights into the harsh terrain, encounters with indigenous peoples, and the challenges faced during his expeditions. The book is a valuable literary work that sheds light on the exploration of the Australian outback in the 19th century, serving as a primary source for historians and researchers studying this period. Eyre's meticulous observations and vivid descriptions make this book a compelling read for those interested in Australian exploration literature. Edward John Eyre, a British explorer, and colonial administrator, drew inspiration from his own experiences traversing the Australian continent to write this remarkable piece of literature. His firsthand knowledge of the landscape and its inhabitants adds credibility to the narratives presented in the book, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the historical context of Australian exploration. I highly recommend 'Journals of Expeditions of Discovery into Central Australia and Overland' to readers interested in the history of exploration, geography, and Australian indigenous cultures.

Download or read book Mawson's Last Survivor written by Anna Bemrose and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alf Howard sailed with legends of the heroic era of Antarctic exploration and became a legend in his own lifetime. He was the last surviving member of Sir Douglas Mawson's 1929-1931 British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) and was also the last survivor to have served aboard the coal-fired three-masted wooden ship Discovery, built for Captain Robert Falcon Scott's 1901-1904 Antarctic odyssey. As a young chemist and hydrologist on board the Discovery, going south with Mawson was the catalyst for his long-distinguished career with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). Subsequently, at the University of Queensland, he was awarded degrees in physics and linguistics and completed a PhD in psychology. For more than twenty years he designed computer programs and provided statistical advice to postgraduate students and staff until he was 97. The call of Antarctica was too strong to resist and during the 1990s he returned four times.

Download or read book The Voyages of the Discovery written by Ann Savours and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovery was built for Captain Scott's first Antarctic expedition of 1901-04 and was launched more than 100 years ago in 1901, at Dundee. She had a long and intriguing career before her final voyage back there in 1986; this book tells the story of that chequered history. Despite a number of expeditions to the Southern Ocean during the nineteenth century, the continent of Antarctica remained mostly a mystery by the turn of the twentieth. To remedy this the Royal Geographical Society proposed a National Antarctic Expedition, and a purpose-built vessel, the Discovery, was designed. Based on a whale ship, she was massively built to withstand ice, and was equipped with a hoisting propeller and rudder. Sh set sail from Cowes of 6 August and six months later was in the Ross Sea. The southern sledging expedition, of Scott, Shackleton and Wilson, reached within 500 miles of the South Pole. In 1905, a year after her return to Britain, she was purchased by the Hudson's Bay Company and worked as a simple cargo carrier between London and their trading posts in the Canadian Arctic. Later she was sent to rescue Shackleton's men on Elephant Island. In 1925 she became a research ship, and in 1929-31 she was used to survey what became Australian Antarctic territory. Moored on the Thames Embankment, she survived the London blitz before returning to Dundee where she is now on permanent display.

Book excerpt: The challenge of opening Africa and Australia to British imperial influence fell to a coterie of proto-professional explorers who sought knowledge, adventure, and fame but often experienced confusion, fear, and failure. The Last Blank Spaces follows the arc of these explorations, from idea to practice, intention to outcome, myth to reality.
