When the First Fleet arrived in Australia in 1788, Australia's First Nations people had already lived on the continent for at least 60,000 years. Aboriginal people knew their Country in detail without the need for maps. But for the European settlers, Australia was a 7.7 million square kilometre mystery to solve. This is a history of the explorers who charted the coastlines, scaled the mountains and crossed the deserts in search of farmland and fresh water--and filled the map of Australia.
