HTML version by Al Haines. "Two Expeditions into the Interior of Southern Australia — Volume I" by Charles Sturt is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work chronicles Sturt’s explorations and observations during his journeys through the uncharted interior of Australia, particularly focusing on the rivers, geography, and vegetation of the region. Sturt aims to illuminate the landscape and resources that characterize the colony of New South Wales while sharing insights into the challenges faced by early settlers and explorers. The opening of the book sets the context for Sturt's expeditions, beginning with a dedication and a preface that highlights his motivations for documenting these journeys. Sturt reflects on the colonial state of New South Wales, the misconceptions held about Australia's potential, and the significance of his expeditions in addressing these erroneous beliefs. He details the planning and execution involved in traveling down the Macquarie River during a challenging drought, indicating the socioeconomic struggles of the settlers at the time. Additionally, Sturt introduces the geographical features and natural conditions he encountered, establishing a foundation for the detailed accounts that will follow in subsequent chapters.
