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.’

Book Synopsis The Archaeology of Rock Art in Western Arnhem Land, Australia by : Bruno David
Download or read book The Archaeology of Rock Art in Western Arnhem Land, Australia written by Bruno David and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western Arnhem Land, in the Top End of Australia’s Northern Territory, has a rich archaeological landscape, ethnographic record and body of rock art that displays an astonishing array of imagery on shelter walls and ceilings. While the archaeology goes back to the earliest period of Aboriginal occupation of the continent, the rock art represents some of the richest, most diverse and visually most impressive regional assemblages anywhere in the world. To better understand this multi-dimensional cultural record, The Archaeology of Rock Art in Western Arnhem Land, Australia focuses on the nature and antiquity of the region’s rock art as revealed by archaeological surveys and excavations, and the application of novel analytical methods. This volume also presents new findings by which to rethink how Aboriginal peoples have socially engaged in and with places across western Arnhem Land, from the north to the south, from the plains to the spectacular rocky landscapes of the plateau. The dynamic nature of Arnhem Land rock art is explored and articulated in innovative ways that shed new light on the region’s deep time Aboriginal history.

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."
