1862ref. 57939Melbourne: Government Printer 1862. First Edition. Paperback. Melbourne Government Printer 1862 and 1862. Foolscap folio two papers 51 and 31 pages. Title-wrappers stab-sewn as issued; a few uncut edges a little foxed; an excellent pair. Victorian Parliamentary Papers Number 108 and 109 of 1861-2. The expedition was 'for the purpose of rendering relief if possible to the missing explorers under the command of Mr Burke; and directing the movements of the two land parties organized and despatched on the same mission of humanity from Brisbane and Rockhampton' under Landsborough and Walker respectively. Paper 109 gives Norman's account of the activities of his own party; Paper 108 in spite of its prosaic title is almost exclusively devoted to detailed accounts by Landsborough 33 pages and Walker 16 pages. Landsborough's reports include an account of the voyage and wreck of the hired transport 'Firefly'; two on the Albert River and the surrounding country and the journal of his south-western expedition 20 pages.

Three maps are referred to in the list of contents of Paper 108; these maps are rarely seen and were apparently issued only in copies made available to Victorian Members of Parliament. 2 items.
