Explorations in Australia

"Explorations in Australia" by John McDouall Stuart is a travelogue that follows five years of travels in the exotic lands of Australia. John McDouall Stuart, often referred to as simply "McDouall Stuart", was a Scottish explorer and one of the most accomplished of all Australia's inland explorers. Stuart led the first successful expedition to traverse the Australian mainland from south to north and return by going straight through the continent. It is that exploration that is narrated in this fascinating tale.
