‎Novocastrian Tales. Newcastle--Hunter Bicentenary 1797-1997‎

‎New Lambton NSW: Elephant Press 1997. 412pp double-page illustration. Paperback. From the Editor's Note the book presents the reader with 'a series of word pictures intended to convey the evolving spirit and place of the Hunter Region through the passage of time. The images take on different forms: documents fictional tales factional tales poems and memoirs. At times history is faithfully recorded. At other times it is slightly bent in the interests of entertainment and humour. It is for the reader to discern between fact and fiction'. Third Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good. 4to.

Lewis. It was financed and provided with seventeen camels and six months supplies by Sir Walter Hughes and Sir Thomas Elder and sought to link the province with Western Australia. After leaving Alice Springs in April 1873 they endured long periods of extreme heat with little water and survived only by killing the camels for meat. They reached the Oakover River with Warburton strapped to a camel. On 11 January 1874 they were brought to Charles Harper's de Grey station in northern Western Australia. They had conquered the formidable Great Sandy Desert to become the first to cross the continent from the centre to the west. Warburton was emaciated and blind in one eye; at a public banquet in Adelaide later he attributed their survival to his Aboriginal companion Charley. . 1st Edition. Hardback.
