Captain Phillip Parker King charted the wild coasts of Australia between 1818 and 1822, sounding uncharted bays and cataloguing the natural history he found ashore. This first volume opens the survey with charts, plates and a naval eye for detail. The continent's rim, mapped for the first time. Sail with the ship that drew Australia's outline.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
