"Journals of Expeditions of Discovery into Central Australia and Overland from Adelaide to King George Sound" by Edward John Eyre is a travel narrative published in 1845. The work chronicles Eyre's year-long expedition from Adelaide into mainland Australia, detailing encounters with Aboriginal peoples, harsh landscapes, and the constant struggle for water and supplies. Written in epistolary and confessional forms, the journals also include Eyre's observations on Aboriginal customs and relations with Europeans,
drawn from his later role as magistrate and protector. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
