Présentation de l'éditeur
The story of how Australia incognita gradually became known to the outside world is perhaps the greatest Australian story of all. It is a story of courage, folly and ambition that begins with the first outsider's footsteps on an alien shore and ends with the penetration of the central deserts centuries later.
EXPLORERS OF AUSTRALIA takes a new look at the famous and forgotten names of Australian exploration, men, who motivated by dreams of wealth or scientific curiosity, risked all to chart the unknown. Geoffrey Badger pays particular attention to the challenges of navigation, diet and geography to reveal how the explorers came to defeat these particular hazards.
Biographie de l'auteur
Sir Geoffrey Badger was born in South Australia in 1916. He served for ten years as the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Adelaide. In the Second World War, as Instructor Lieutenant RN, he was responsible for the training of cadets in navigation, which stimulated his interest in the development of navigational methods and Australian exploration.
