This illustrated guide for travelers retraces the route of the Victorian Exploring Expedition in Australia in the 1860s. Author Dave Phoenix, who walked the entire route in 2008, gives detailed
advice on routes, roads, monuments, and markers across the entire Australian outback from south to north, including specific places on the route where travelers can stand in the same spot where
the explorers stood to draw and describe the landscape. At each stage of the journey, the author describes the original expedition’s activities and challenges and provides excerpts from the
explorers’ journals and descriptions of the territory in mid-19th century. The book includes color photos and historical illustrations, including many from the journals of original explorers,
plus maps throughout. It is distributed in the US by Stylus Publishing. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
