Melbourne University Press at the Miegunyah Press in association with The State Library of Victoria, 1993.
This highly readable account, with drawings and maps, offers insights into the causes of the expedition's failure - an ill-chosen leader and route, and inappropriate and excessive supplies. In increasingly desperate conditions Beckler collected and identified the native flora, and recorded vivid and positive descriptions of the landscape and the Aboriginal people. His acute observations indicate what might have been achieved had the expedition pursued its scientific brief. Click here to Order

West Melbourne; Thomas Nelson Australia; 1980. Fascinating account of a nation at war shows a growing division within the
Australian community as people shifted from their early, naive acceptance of the Empire's call to arms. Powerless to shape events abroad, they grew increasingly polarised - to an almost fanatical embrace of the rhetoric of war, or to a disappointed rejection of the platitudes of the war leaders. The book concludes with the shattering of the hopes of the heroes as they tried to a-just to civilian life. Click here to Order
