Excerpt from The Discovery and Settlement of Port Mackay, Queensland: With Numerous Illustrations, Charts and Maps, and Some Notes on the Natural History of the DistrictBesides my own notes, I am indebted to other colonists for information which is acknowledged in the text. Apart from these, a very thorough search has been made at the British Museum and the Record Office (admiralty and Colonial Papers) for any particulars which might throw further light on the doings of the early explorers on the coast, or which might confirm what has been published elsewhere. Notes so obtained have been incorporated in the work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
