Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geographic Travels in Central Australia The able and undaunted traveller, whose diaries are re issued in these pages, has entrusted to me the task of revising his journals for the press and introducing this volume by a few prefatory words to public notice. I have complied with his request all the more readily, as he has entered already anew the field of geographic exploration. It was deemed desirable to render the instructive and stirring account of his exploits accessible in a more attainable form than that of parliamentary records. No one perusing these journals will withhold the admiration due to the courage, skill and perseverance displayed by Mr. Giles under unusually trying difficulties, more particularly so as he was supported only by the most slender means; and it seems probable, that any other explorer would have shnmk from the task of braving the terrors of the Australian deserts in seasons of protracted aridity with such narrow resources as were at his commands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Travels: A Record of Discovery, Geography and Adventure In spite of all our endeavours to hasten matters, our actual departure from Superior did not take place until past mid day. First of all one of the Canadians who was to have accompanied us discovered that he could not go, and it was necessary to find somebody else to serve in his place. Then Lefevre brought forward several good reasons why we should not start until next day, and young Cote, whom we finally engaged as our second voyageur, supported him strongly; one of their principal arguments being that they had no mocassins ready. As, however, we had been forewarned that it would be difficult to screw them up to the starting point, and that, if given way to on one day, they would be just as bad the next, we stuck to our text and determined, come what might, to get under weigh. So, after advancing money to purchase the deficient mocassins, and hunting Lefevre once or twice out of the bar of a drinking store where he had taken refuge, we managed to effect a start.

This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Discovery of Australia After the Greeks, came the all-conquering Romans, who vanquished and occupied almost all lands of which they had knowledge, but their geographical lore was meagre, and Strabo knew very little more than Herodotus, although he had the advantage of four hundred years. Commerce was destined to do more for geography than war, and, doubtless, the wealth and luxury of Rome induced the navigator of the time to seek for foreign merchandise, wherewith to gratify and pamper the rulers of the world. Following the march of centuries came the navigators of Arabia, of Scandinavia, of Venice, leading up to the illustrious Prince of Portugal, Henry the Navigator - probably the greatest promoter of maritime discovery - who, with Columbus, may be said to have shared the honours of the ocean during the fifteenth century. I hope I may be excused for giving the foregoing and subsequent brief outlines Of early geographical and cartographic lore by way of introduction to the main subjee't of the following pages, viz.: The Discovery of Australia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Heroes of Travel: Or Chapters From the History of Geographical Discovery Enterprise The present age is sometimes described as an Age of Commonplace; but it has its romance if we care to look for it. Assuredly, the adventures of its travellers and explorers do not lose in importance or interest, even when compared with those of their predecessors in days when a great part of the world was still "virgin ground." In the following pages, this thesis is illustrated by a summary of the narratives of certain "Heroes of Travel" belonging to our own time; and I believe it will be found that for "stirring scenes" and "hair-breadth escapes" they vie with any which the industrious Hakluyt, the quaint Purchas, or, coming down to a later date, the multifarious Pinkerton has collected.

Natural features hitherto unmapped have been located by triangulation, and are now shown in their true position. The whole has involved extra travel, anxiety, and labor, and is cheerfully presented to those whose desire it is to have filled up the map of Australia.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Central Australian Exploring Expedition, 1889 Wednesday, March 20th.-i returned to the main camp at Painta Springs. Having now abandoned the idea of penetrating the ranges to the southward, I started the following day (2lst) to examine the different gorges and inlets of the range, with the hope of finding a watering-place west of the Paiute. Travelled north westerly for two days without making any discoveries of water that would be of any service. I was now forty miles west of my main camp, so started to return. It appears evident that I shall not find the travelling here by any means easy. Saturday, March 23rd. - Camp No. 2, Painta Spring. Bar. 27°680in., ther. 58° - The morning broke bright and clear though there are still some rain clouds to the sw. The evening was cold, and I had to get up during the night to renew the fire: it is the first time this season that we have cared to be near the fire at night The packs having been all rearranged and weighed we cleared away from the Painta Spring at 1045, taking a N. 85° W. Course along the foot of the range. The travelling is simply perfect, level as a bowling green, the weather delightfully cool, so we kept steadily on till dusk when we camped, having travelled eighteen miles. The largest camel that I have, and the one that has caused so much delay and trouble ever since I left the Peaks, lay down several times during the day, and by continually break ing his nose rope, caused much loss of time. Kangaroos, wallabies, crows, and crested pigeons seen to day. Travelled about seventeen miles over level ground on the Burt Plain. Timber. Principally bloodwood and mulga, and also noticed a few native orange trees (capparis). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Expedition into Central Australia by Charles Sturt The Australian continent is not distinguished, as are many other continents of equal and even of less extent, by any prominent geographical feature. Its mountains seldom exceed four thousand feet in elevation, nor do any of its rivers, whether falling internally or externally, not even the Murray, bear any proportion to the size of the continent itself. There is no reason, however, why rivers of greater magnitude, than any which have hitherto been discovered in it, should not emanate from mountains of such limited altitude, as the known mountains of that immense and sea-girt territory. But, it appears to me, it is not in the height and character of its hilly regions, that we are to look for the causes why so few living streams issue from them. The true cause, I apprehend, lies in its climate, in its seldom experiencing other than partial rains, and in its being subject to severe and long continued droughts. Its streams descend rapidly into a country of uniform equality of surface, and into a region of intense heat, and are subject, even at a great distance from their sources, to sudden and terrific floods, which subside, as the cause which gave rise to them ceases to operate; the consequence is, that their springs become gradually weaker and weaker, all back impulse is lost, and whilst the rivers still continue to support a feeble current in the hills, they cease to flow in their lower branches, assume the character of a chain of ponds, in a few short weeks their deepest pools are exhausted by the joint effects of evaporation and absorption, and the traveller may run down their beds for miles, without finding a drop of water with which to slake his thirst.
