WILLIAM DAMPIER IN NEW HOLLAND
alex george Explorer, adventurer, travel writer, botanist, hydrographer, natural historian - William Dampier was all of these. Over eighty years before Cook landed on the coats of Australia, Dampier landed on the shore of Western Australia - the first English explorer to set foot on Australian soil. In 1688, and again in 1699, his voyages resulted in extraordinary collection of specimens, drawings and journal accounts of plants, marine and land, animals, shells and insects, taken back to England for extensive scientific scrutiny. His writings were the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe and Darwin's Origin of Species. 191 pp - hardback - Published 1999
