Plot

Previous knowledge of Willem de Vlamingh's 1696-7 voyage to Terra Australis has been based on his ships' logs. But Phillip Playford's discovery of a hand-written French translation of Vlamingh's personal journal from the voyage now provides, through this beautifully produced book, much greater insight into this major event in Australia's history.
