Summary: "The Australian Explorers: Their Labours, Perils, and Achievements" by George Grimm is a historical account written in the late 19th century.

The book delves into the adventures, challenges, and discoveries faced by these early explorers, providing a narrative that is both informative and engaging for anyone interested in Australia's history. The opening of the book establishes a compelling purpose behind the narrative, emphasizing the need to remember the feats of bravery and hardship that characterized early Australian exploration. The author argues for the importance of keeping alive the memory of these explorers, who often risked their lives in remote and unforgiving landscapes.
