What it's about

"Discoveries in Australia, Volume 1" by John Lort Stokes is a two-volume work published in 1846. It presents edited journals from the HMS Beagle's six-year surveying expedition along Australia's coasts and rivers from 1837 to 1843. The work chronicles both maritime and inland explorations undertaken by Stokes and his crew, revealing numerous previously unknown places in Australia. Written in an engaging and vivacious style, it stands as the official account of the last major expedition of Australian discovery.
