- Summary:
-
"John Oxley, Surveyor-General of New South Wales, ranks among the great explorers of Australia. His expeditions along the Lachlan and Macquarie Rivers were feats of dogged endurance and persistence, as he pursued his dream of finding the mysterious inland sea that he firmly believed lay in the Australian interior." "This is the first biography of an important figure in Australian colonial history. The Search for the Inland Sea fills a major gap in our historical literature."--BOOK JACKET.
