Journals Of Two Expeditions Of Discovery In North-west And Western Australia

Large Format for easy reading. The journals recording two catastrophically ill-prepared expeditions of exploration in North-West and Western Australia. In the first, wrecked, almost drowned and completely lost and with Grey wounded in a skirmish with Aborigines, they traced the course of the Glenelg River before giving up and retiring to Mauritius to recover. In the second, they had to walk to Perth, barely surviving the journey, much of it without food and almost without water (they survived by drinking liquid mud). Beautifully illustrated edition with maps, photographs and illustrations.
