This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for
quality. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in
an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the
digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books
may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading
experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have
elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.
The first phase of warfare in which Australian military forces were
occupied was in beating off a Turkish attack upon the Suez Canal in
February 1915. Turkey entered the war as an ally of the Germanic
powers in the previous October, against the wishes of the Sultan
and the Grand Vizier, whose hands were forced by a military party
led by Enver Bey, who was manipulated by German officers. The
objects of the Turkish move against the Suez Canal were, first, to
deprive Great Britain of one of her most important maritime routes,
and secondly to stimulate a Moslem rising in Egypt.
There never was, until Flinders applied himself to the task, any
deliberately-planned, systematic, persistent exploration of any
portion of the Australian coast. The continent grew on the map of
the world gradually, slowly, almost accidentally. It emerged out of
the unknown, like some vast mythical monster heaving its large
shoulders dank and dripping from the unfathomed sea, and
metamorphosed by a kiss from the lips of knowledge into a being
fair to look upon and rich in kindly favours. It took two centuries
and a half for civilised mankind to know Australia, even in form,
from the time when it was clearly understood that there was such a
country, until at length it was mapped, measured and
circumnavigated.
