Summary "Australia Twice Traversed" by Ernest Giles is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book compiles the narratives of five exploring expeditions undertaken by Giles into and through Central and Western Australia from 1872 to 1876. The text provides a fascinating glimpse into the challenges faced by explorers in the Australian interior, detailing not only their geographical findings but also their encounters with the land and indigenous people. The opening of the book introduces Giles, the primary narrator, as he reflects on the previous explorers of Australia while preparing for his journey. He outlines his motivations and aspirations, showing a passion for discovery and a deep respect for the land’s potential. The first chapters detail the formation of his expedition team, the logistics of supplies, and the initial stages of the journey from Port Augusta towards the Charlotte Waters Station, culminating with the trek toward Chambers' Pillar. This portion establishes the rugged and often treacherous nature of the terrain, the realities of navigating with horses, and the cultural interactions with Aboriginal populations, portraying an immersive and adventurous narrative that sets the tone for the explorations to come.
