The Australian Explorers
by George Grimm
Publisher: George Robertson & Co. 1888
ISBN/ASIN: 124147060X
Number of pages: 272
Description:
The story of the exploration of Australia is one which we cannot willingly let die. There are many reasons for keeping alive the remembrance of such heroic deeds. It is due to the memory of those men who took their lives in their hands, and, in many cases, laid their bones in the desert; it is an act of gratitude on our part, who have entered on their labours; and it is a kind of information indispensable to every Australian who desires to know the history of his country.
