Book Description
This work is a collection of compiled journals of Ernest Giles an Australian explorer who led five major expeditions to parts of South Australia and Western Australia. These journals were published, as each journey ended, as parliamentary papers by the Government of the Colony of South Australia. The book shows that Giles had the bravery, resources, and spirit of enterprise, a few things that are essential to an explorer. His story is lighted up sometimes by what he has to say about the few well-watered and delightful tracts of land through which he passed during his various expeditions. His explorations were essential links in the chain of Australian geographical research, and he has acted wisely in preparing a complete and accurate account of them. Maps and illustrations considerably increase the value of the work. "I have had to encounter a large area of desert country in the interior of the colonies of South Australia, and Western Australia, in my various wanderings; but I also discovered considerable tracts of lands watered and suitable for occupation." said the author.
