Excerpt from The Secret of the Australian Desert
Although the interior of the continent of Australia is singularly deficient in the more picturesque elements of romance, it was, for nearly two-thirds of a century, a most attractive lure to men of adventurous character.
Oxley, Sturt, Mitchell, Kennedy, and Stuart have left deathless names on the roll of Australian explorers, but the unknown fate of Ludwig Leichhardt has always centred most of the romance of story about his memory.
In April, 1848, he left Macpherson's Station, Cogoon River, situated in the southern portion of what is now the colony of Queensland, with the intention of endeavouring to reach Perth, on the west coast, the capital of Western Australia, by traversing, if possible, the then unknown heart of the continent.
From that day to this, no clue to the disappearance of the whole party has ever been discovered. Several expeditions have been fruitlessly despatched in search of the missing men; and many false reports as to the finding of relics of the party have been brought in at various times.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an intriguing narrative based on an actual 1848 expedition led by Ludwig Leichhardt, who sought to traverse the largely unknown heart of the Australian continent. After disappearing with his party, Leichhardt's fate remained a mystery. The author takes this historical event as a departure point to imagine a possible path the expedition may have taken. As the story unfolds, a group of adventurers attempt to uncover the secrets of the expedition's disappearance by following clues left behind. Along the way, they encounter mysterious cave paintings and uncover evidence of an ancient, possibly civilized, race that may have once inhabited Australia. The book delves into the themes of exploration, the allure of the unknown, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity, making it a captivating read for those interested in Australian history, adventure, and the enduring power of the human imagination.
