Summary "Explorations in Australia" by John Forrest is a historical account written in the late 19th century that documents several exploratory expeditions undertaken in Australia. The focus of the book is on the pursuit of Dr. Leichhardt and his lost party, as well as explorations between various Australian territories, detailing attempts to establish overland routes. The author, John Forrest, himself leads one of these expeditions, illustrating the trials faced by early Australian explorers against the backdrop of uncharted wilderness. The opening of the book lays the groundwork for these explorations by summarizing previous expeditions into the Australian interior, highlighting the challenges faced and the motivations behind such endeavors. Forrest introduces significant figures such as Edward John Eyre and the enigmatic Dr. Leichhardt, recounting their journeys filled with hardship and courage. He emphasizes the geographic and environmental obstacles encountered, such as vast deserts and hostile conditions, while setting the stage for the first expedition led by Forrest in search of Leichhardt, which aims to uncover the truth of his fate amidst the tangled history of exploration in Australia.
