Great Australian Journeys

Epic tales of exploration, survival, tragedy, romance, mystery, discovery and loss come together in this intriguing collection of some of Australia’s most dramatic journeys from the 19th and early 20th century. From death-defying sea voyages to expeditions across vast deserts on horseback, the tales include a mix of well- and lesser-known journeys by land, sea, and air. Some are tales of discovery, some of tragedy, and others just sheer madness, but all are a tribute to the adventures of some of Australia’s bravest, as well as foolhardiest, men and women and the extraordinary resilience and determination of the human spirit.
