[edit] Summary

Description

The map depicts the major expeditions in Australia between 1858 and 1862 AD as well as the major settlements founded during that period. All expeditions on the map were led by men of British or British-Australian descent and are therefore coloured in shades of red. The areas probably unknown to the Europeans in 1863 AD are shaded. Their borders and the tracks are only approximate. The names given are those of the leaders of the expeditions.
