In August 1844 a heavily-laden party led by Captain Charles Sturt set out from Adelaide to head into the unexplored vastness of central Australia. Amongst their equipment was a boat: as well as carrying out his mission of scientific investigation and mapping the topography, Sturt was convinced he would find the inland sea that was reputed to lie in the middle of the continent and so make his reputation. This is the first full publication of Sturt's original journals of the trip. They record the hardships of the journeying through the parched landscape, but also show how his efforts helped reveal the nature of much of the mysterious interior of Australia, and how, in a manner uncharacteristic of his times, he established respectful and co-operative relations with the Aborigines he encountered along the way.

""Two Expeditions Into The Interior Of Southern Australia"" is a book written by Charles Sturt, an explorer and surveyor who led two expeditions into the uncharted regions of southern Australia in the 19th century. The first expedition, which took place in 1828, was an attempt to find the source of the Macquarie River. The second expedition, which took place in 1829-1830, was an attempt to find an inland sea believed to exist in the region.The book provides a detailed account of Sturt's travels, including descriptions of the landscape, flora and fauna, and encounters with indigenous peoples. It also includes maps and illustrations of the areas explored.Sturt's expeditions were important in the early exploration of Australia and helped to expand the knowledge of the continent's geography and natural resources. The book is an important historical document and provides insight into the challenges and achievements of early Australian exploration.Mr. Hume thought they intended an attack, and the horses had taken fright and galloped away. I determined, therefore, to fire at once upon them if they pressed up the bank on which we were posted. Mr. Hume went with me to the crest of it, and we rather angrily beckoned to the foremost of the natives to stop. They mistook our meaning, but laid all their spears in a heap as they came up. We then sat down on the bank and they immediately did the same; nor did they stir until we beckoned to them after the horses had been secured.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
