Trade Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good condition. Black & white illustrations. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. 297 pages. Almost two hundred years ago a young British sailor carved his ship's name 'Mermaid' , on a Kimberley coast boab tree - its still there today. It marked the beginning of a period of optimism and adventure in Australia's history. This is the story of the successors to the likes of Cook, La Perouse, and Flinders. King, Freycinet, d'Urville, Wickham, Stokes, Grey, Blackwood, Yule, and many more, were key players in unlocking the country's secrets. N° de réf. du vendeur 332538

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Some marks on foredges. Interior and binding are still very good. For generations of Australians, the great navigators of the golden age of Antipodean maritime exploration - Cook, Bligh, la Perouse, Bougainville and Flinders have long been household names. The significance of their discoveries and contributions to our island continent's settlement and development is widely appreciated and can hardly be overestimated. However, much less is generally known about their successors - the hydrographers and explorers of the period 1815-1850. In this meticulously researched history, Robert Tiley seeks to fill some of the gaps in the national consciousness by the writing of the trials, accomplishments and sheer intrepidity of Frenchmen such as Freycinet, d'Urville and Duperrey; of Britons such as Phillip Parker King, Stokes, Blackwood, Owen Stanley and Wickham, and their valuable work in mapping the eastern, northern and western coastlines of the enormous Australian land mass.
