Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by Sue Asscher "Journals of Australian Explorations" by Augustus Charles Gregory and Francis Thomas Gregory is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book compiles detailed records of the explorations conducted by the Gregory brothers in various uncharted areas of Australia, highlighting their arduous journeys through the Western, Northern, and Central regions of the continent. The text serves not only as a crucial documentation of early Australian exploration but also reflects the challenges and discoveries of this period in history. The opening of the book presents the preface and initial entries from the expeditions undertaken by the Gregory brothers. These entries outline their motivations for exploration, which were driven by the need to find new pastures due to overstocking in settled areas. The text introduces the logistical setup of their expeditions, detailing the team members, equipment, and routes taken, commencing with their journey east of Swan River in 1846. It describes the harsh and varied terrain they encountered, including sandy downs, scrub forest, and salt marshes, as well as the difficulties faced in finding water and navigating dense undergrowth. The initial diary entries give readers a vivid sense of the explorers' experiences, setting the stage for the detailed accounts of their discoveries and interactions with the landscape and Aboriginal people they encountered.
