Westward Ho Verland with the Mack Robertson Expedition
The diary-like account describes a rough stretch across Madura Pass and the Indian Ocean coast as the Mack Robertson expedition travels westward. It details road conditions, camps, encounters with cattle stations, water taps, and the evolving scenery from Madura to Norseman and Coolgardie while noting historical mining towns and the implications of the Coolgardie rush.
