"Australian Search Party" by Charles H. Eden is a historical account written in the late 19th century, detailing an expedition to find the crew of a shipwrecked schooner in Australia. The narrative chronicles the harrowing circumstances surrounding the search led from the township of Cardwell, focusing on the challenges faced by the explorers as they journey into the wild, largely unexplored territories inhabited by Indigenous tribes. The beginning of the work sets the stage by recounting the aftermath of a devastating cyclone that had impacted Queensland, leading to the loss of the schooner "Eva" and its crew. The author provides vivid descriptions of the harsh landscape, including Hinchinbrook Island and its surrounding waters, while introducing various characters, including volunteers and local inhabitants, who join the search. Eden also discusses the wildlife encountered along the way, such as crocodiles and dugongs, and describes encounters with Indigenous Australians. The opening offers a mix of adventure, tension, and exploration, inviting readers into the rugged and often perilous environment of 19th-century Australian landscapes.
