This book was released on 1863 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First edition: John McDouall Stuart’s fifth and sixth expeditions across central Australia. The expedition of 1861, Stuart’s fifth major venture into the interior, was a failure. Nonetheless Stuart set forth on his sixth expedition in October 1861 and won the distinction of leading the first successful expedition from the south of the continent to the Indian ocean in the north – and living to tell the tale. Burke and Wills, in their over-hasty dash from Cooper’s Creek had in fact beaten Stuart in crossing the continent but paid a heavy price for their impatience. Notwithstanding, Stuart himself was debilitated by fatigue and scurvy; he spent much of the return journey strung on a stretcher between two horses before returning to a hero’s welcome at Adelaide in December 1862. Of special interest is the large Melbourne-printed lithographed map that accompanies this volume. The map was prepared by the Government printer from Stuart’s journals, tracing the paths of the expeditions of 1861 and 1862 (and previous exploration of the region by Ludwig Leichhardt). The 1862 expedition transects the map from south to north, its torturous path beginning at the Ashburton ranges, then northwards to Daly waters followed by the Roper and Adelaide rivers. Sketch details are provided of the coastline and Melville Island, including the location near Cape Hotham where Stuart’s expedition reached the sea and planted their flag. Australian Rare Books notes that the paper stock used for this edition is prone to heavy foxing: ‘Experience has shown that the text of most – if not all – copies of the 1863 Melbourne Stuart is badly foxed and discoloured, and so collectors should not shun what may seem at first sight an inferior copy.’

Excerpt: ...now seems to run to the west, on a bean g of 30 north of west. From twenty to twenty-five miles distant is another range, at the foot of which there is a blue stripe, apparently water, which I suppose to be the main stream of the Adelaide. Descended, as the country is too rough and stony to continue either to the north or north-west. I changed to 3 north of west, 'crossed some stony, hills'and broad valleys with splendid alluvial soil, the hills rassed to the top. On that course struck the branch of, the river; still very thick with the same k-ind of timber alreadyv mentioned. Most of the bamboos are dead; 'I suppose the fire has been the cause of it. I again find it running to the nortli; I turn to that course. At three miles struck a 'large creek co.ming from the east, with large. sheets 'of water; hadnto run it up half-a-mile before I could get across it. Crossed it all right, and passed through a beautiful valley ofgreen grass. After that found that 1-was again on the stony rise, where every blade of grass had been burnt off; and not knowing how far they may continue, I have turned ofl' agaih for the creek, to give thahorses the benefit of the valley. The timber is the same' as yesterday in some places; the stringy-bark is much larger. The banks of the rfve', when ire first came upon it to-day, are.high and siony. The range to the east seems to cease about here; we are now crossing low undulations.' I have seen a number of kangatioos to-day; they do not seem to be as large as those in the. south. The vall'eys are composed of conglom.erated irbnstone uiiderneath the soil. A large number of new birds seen 'to-day, some of them with splendid plumage. VVind sou.th-east. Lat. 13 7'21."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a British Empire that stretched across much of the globe at the start of the nineteenth century, the interiors of Africa and Australia remained intriguing mysteries. The challenge of opening these continents to imperial influence fell to a proto-professional coterie of determined explorers. They 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, from intention to outcome, from myth to reality. Those who conducted the hundreds of expeditions that probed Africa and Australia in the nineteenth century adopted a mode of scientific investigation that had been developed by previous generations of seaborne explorers. They likened the two continents to oceans, empty spaces that could be made truly knowable only by mapping, measuring, observing, and preserving. They found, however, that their survival and success depended less on this system of universal knowledge than it did on the local knowledge possessed by native peoples. While explorers sought to advance the interests of Britain and its emigrant communities, Dane Kennedy discovers a more complex outcome: expeditions that failed ignominiously, explorers whose loyalties proved ambivalent or divided, and, above all, local states and peoples who diverted expeditions to serve their own purposes. The collisions, and occasional convergences, between British and indigenous values, interests, and modes of knowing the world are brought to the fore in this fresh and engaging study.
