Two Expeditions into the Interior of Southern Australia, during the Years 1828, 1829, 1830, and 1831

Published in 1833, this two-volume account by Charles Sturt (1795-1869) documents the difficulties of exploring unmapped territory in the harsh climate of the Australian summer. Volume 1 focuses on Sturt's expedition along the Macquarie and Darling rivers, and his encounters with the Aboriginal population of that region.
