Edward John Eyre's 'Journals of Expeditions of Discovery into Central Australia and Overland' offers readers a detailed account of Eyre's adventurous journeys through the uncharted regions of Australia. Eyre's writing style is both informative and engaging, providing insights into the harsh terrain, encounters with indigenous peoples, and the challenges faced during his expeditions. The book is a valuable literary work that sheds light on the exploration of the Australian outback in the 19th century, serving as a primary source for historians and researchers studying this period. Eyre's meticulous observations and vivid descriptions make this book a compelling read for those interested in Australian exploration literature. Edward John Eyre, a British explorer, and colonial administrator, drew inspiration from his own experiences traversing the Australian continent to write this remarkable piece of literature. His firsthand knowledge of the landscape and its inhabitants adds credibility to the narratives presented in the book, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the historical context of Australian exploration. I highly recommend 'Journals of Expeditions of Discovery into Central Australia and Overland' to readers interested in the history of exploration, geography, and Australian indigenous cultures.

"In 1839 Eyre made two expeditions, from Adelaide to Lake Torrens, and from Port Lincoln to Streaky Bay. In June 1840 he set out on his most notable expedition, westward from Adelaide along the Great Australian Bight, with one white companion (Baxter) and three natives. Baxter was murdered by two of the natives, and Eyre and the remaining Aborigine reached Albany only after a desperate journey. Eyre includes in his relations considerable valuable material on the Aborigines and their habits". (Ferguson).

The Routledge Companion to Literature and Food explores the relationship between food and literature in transnational contexts, serving as both an introduction and a guide to the field in terms of defining characteristics and development. Balancing a wide-reaching view of the long histories and preoccupations of literary food studies, with attentiveness to recent developments and shifts, the volume illuminates the aesthetic, cultural, political, and intellectual diversity of the representation of food and eating in literature.

Would Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson have ever crossed the Blue Mountains without the help of the local Aboriginal people? The invaluable role of local guides in this event is rarely recognised. As silent partners, Aboriginal Australians gave Europeans their first views of iconic animals, such as the Koala and Superb Lyrebird, and helped to unravel the mystery of the egg-laying mammals: the Echidna and Platypus. Well into the twentieth century, Indigenous people were routinely engaged by collectors, illustrators and others with an interest in Australia's animals. Yet this participation, if admitted at all, was generally barely acknowledged. However, when documented, it was clearly significant. Penny Olsen and Lynette Russell have gathered together Aboriginal peoples' contributions to demonstrate the crucial role they played in early Australian zoology. The writings of the early European naturalists clearly describe the valuable knowledge of the Indigenous people of the habits of Australia's bizarre (to a European) fauna. 'Australia's First Naturalists' is invaluable for those wanting to learn more about our original inhabitants' contribution to the collection, recognition and classification of Australia's unique fauna. It heightens our appreciation of the previously unrecognised complex knowledge of Indigenous societies.
