The Journal of Landsborough's Expedition: From Carpentaria, In Search Of Burke And Wills (1862) is a historical account written by William Landsborough, an Australian explorer and surveyor. The book documents Landsborough's expedition to search for the missing explorers, Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills, who had set out to cross the Australian continent from south to north in 1860 but had not returned.Landsborough's expedition began in March 1862 and lasted for over six months, covering a distance of nearly 4,000 kilometers. The journal provides a detailed account of the challenges faced by the expedition party, including harsh weather conditions, difficult terrain, and encounters with hostile Indigenous peoples. The book also includes descriptions of the flora and fauna of the regions traversed by the expedition, as well as observations on the geology and topography of the area. Landsborough's vivid descriptions of the Australian landscape and his encounters with the Indigenous peoples he encountered provide valuable insights into the early history of Australia.Overall, the Journal of Landsborough's Expedition is a fascinating historical document that offers a unique perspective on the exploration of Australia in the 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Australian history, exploration, and adventure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
