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.
