| Summary, etc. | "The History of Australian Exploration from 1788 to 1888" by Ernest Favenc is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book meticulously chronicles the exploration of Australia over a century, detailing the numerous expeditions that led to the discovery and mapping of the continent. Favenc aims to weave together the tales of both public expeditions, which often received government support, and the lesser-known journeys of private individuals, showcasing their significant contributions to Australian history. At the start of this extensive work, Favenc dedicates the book to a prominent figure in Australian politics, Sir Henry Parkes, and provides a preface explaining the challenges historians face in compiling a complete history of Australian exploration. The opening portion discusses early navigators and explorers, tracing the myths and realities surrounding Australia's discovery, such as hopes for an inland sea and encounters with the indigenous population. It outlines the endeavors of key figures like Captain Phillip and Captain Tench, who initially explored the terrain around Sydney, focusing on the discovery of the Hawkesbury and Nepean Rivers and their attempts to penetrate the daunting Blue Mountains. The subsequent expeditions, marked by descriptions of the land’s physical characteristics and indigenous tribes, set the groundwork for understanding Australia's vast interior landscape.
