The Land of the Kangaroo Adventures of Two Youths in a Journey through the Great Island Continent E-text prepared by Roger Frank and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (https://www.pgdp.net) "The Land of the Kangaroo" by Thomas Wallace Knox is a travel adventure series narrative written in the late 19th century. The book follows the adventures of Dr. Whitney and his two nephews, Ned and Harry, as they embark on an exploration through Australia, showcasing the continent’s unique landscape, wildlife, and cultures. From the bustling ports to encounters with Aboriginal peoples and the exploration of its distinctive flora and fauna, the narrative immerses readers in the wonders of this far-off land. The opening of "The Land of the Kangaroo" introduces readers to Dr. Whitney and his nephews as they arrive in Bonny, Africa, after a prior expedition through Lake Chad and Timbuctoo. The narrative quickly establishes a sense of urgency for the travelers to leave Bonny, a trading station plagued by unhealthy conditions and a culture of heavy drinking. They manage to board a small steamer bound for Fernando Po, where they reflect on their surroundings and the challenges of navigating the region's swamps. As their journey progresses, Harry documents their encounters and experiences, setting the stage for their exciting venture into Australia’s diverse adventure-rich landscape.
