The Explorers tells an epic story of courage and suffering, of dispossession and conquest, of a moving frontier between European invaders and the Aboriginal custodians of the continent.This compelling anthology documents almost four centuries of exploration and takes us into a world of danger, compassion and humour. Many of the stories beggar belief. Maori chief Te Pahi saves the lives of condemned thieves in Sydney in 1805 - Hume and Hovell argue over their frying pan - John Ainsworth Horrocks is shot by his camel. Brilliantly edited and introduced by Tim Flannery,The Explorers draws on the most remarkable body of non-fiction writing ever produced in Australia.
