Expedition Diary of Eyre at Desolate Interior Coast to Lake Torrens
A long excerpt from Captain Eyre's 1841 1842 expedition reveals his northern foray from the Darling and Williorara toward Mount Arden and Lake Torrens, detailing arduous traverses through barren plains and ranges. He notes water shortages, scurvy, and the near-desperate need to secure a safe camp while advancing into the interior, including Mr Poole Browne and native guides Nadbuck and Loouda.
