Early Land Exploration

typeDataset
datePublished 2022-11-25
name Early Land Exploration
description Early land exploration in Australia around the time of first settlement in each colony. Most early exploration is depicted as maritime exploration, and land based exploration is usually focused on major expeditions from the first settlements. This collection fills the gap, showing some of the first exploration on land, scouting of sites for settlement in what are now major cities, and showing the earliest forays of the British settlers into the Aboriginal lands and waters surrounding colonies.
