The Explorers of Australia and Their Life-Work by Ernest Favenc, published in 1908 by Whitcombe and Tombs Limited, with offices in Christchurch, Wellington, Dunedin, Melbourne, and London. This cloth-bound volume spans 303 pages including an index.
This book offers a detailed account of the lives and achievements of the men who explored Australia’s vast and often harsh landscapes during the 19th century.

The work reflects early 20th-century perspectives on exploration, settlement, and the shaping of Australia’s national identity.
