". by one of Australia s most historic explorers" - WantrupSecond edition issued the year after the first. Two volumes, octavo. With 13 plates, including the four hand-colored ornithological plates: The Rose Cockatoo, The Crested Pigeon of the Marshes, Palaeornis melanura, or Black-Tailed Paroquet, and Pomatorhinus temporalis / Pomatorhinus superciliosus. Illustrated with two maps: a large folding Map of the Discoveries in Australia, copied from the latest M.S. surveys in the Colonial Office by J. Arrowsmith, and the single-page Chart of Cape Jervis, and Encounter Bay.An important account of Charles Sturt s two expeditions to trace the river systems of the interior of New South Wales. The first expedition, undertaken in 1828 29 under conditions of severe drought, followed the Macquarie River, charted the Bogan and Castlereagh Rivers, and led to Sturt s discovery of the Darling. The second, more ambitious expedition of 1829 31 carried Sturt some 2,000 miles down the Murrumbidgee to what he described as a broad and noble river, which he named the Murray, and thence to the sea at Lake Alexandrina and Encounter Bay.Strut's Journal was the first full-scale publication of an explorer's journal since the publication of Oxley's book thirteen years before . An important book, recounting discoveries of the highest consequence and being the first publication by one of Australia's most heroic explorers, Sturt's Two Expeditions is scarce and sought-after - Wantrup.The narrative is one of the foundational works of Australian inland exploration. Sturt s party endured a series of hardships: the loss and abandonment of a skiff, dangerous navigation through reed-choked waterways, tense encounters with Aboriginal groups, dwindling provisions, and the exhausting return upstream against the current. Sturt himself suffered severely from ill health and eye trouble, later noting that the work was completed while he was laboring under an almost total deprivation of sight. Beyond its dramatic exploration narrative, the work is also valued for its detailed observations on geography, climate, natural history, Indigenous life, and the pastoral and colonial potential of southeastern Australia. The Arrowsmith map is especially significant, synthesizing the latest official survey information with Sturt s discoveries and giving cartographic form to the newly understood Murray-Darling river system. …
