19408vo. 32 pages over 2 issues, plus large fold-out map and photographic plates for illustration. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. A primary source account of the first peaceful expedition into tribal regions of central Papua New Guinea, by a distinguished patrol officer who was native to the island himself, and who would later become a director in District Services and Native Affairs, as well as senior commissioner of the new Land Titles Commission. On this journey, the officer and expedition leader established good relations with indigenous tribes as he learned much about their communal lives. He further settled a new post, and provided a geographical survey which facilitated the first accurate map of the region. From April-December 1936 Ivan Champion led a major Bamu-Purari patrol to establish the remote Lake Kutubu patrol post, accompanied by patrol officer C.T.J. Adamson. Champion returned with a manuscript account of the mission, 123 pages in length, a condensed version of which is presented here in this foremost published account. As stated herein, circumstances caused a notable delay in publication. Champion's amicable experiences and collaboration with the indigenous Motuan and Koitabu inhabitants caused immense criticism of a patrol previously made by Jack G. Hides and his violent actions against native tribes, actions which Champion's expedition illustrated were unnecessary. In diary format, the officer describes arduous travel including river crossings and precipice climbing, as well as procuring fresh food, and pleasant interactions with native people, continuously making comparisons with Hides' erroneous reports. He also includes some striking photographic images of the tribes, their dwellings, canoes, and more, as well as a route map which again compares his tracts to those of Hides. Champion has been called "the last great explorer of Papua" and his book, 'Across New Guinea from the Fly to the Sepik' is now a classic in exploration.
192812 pages, including 2 in-text sketch maps. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a most fascinating expedition report on the Barkly Tableland of North Australia, including a geographical study of the Mitchell grass lands and prairies of Central Queensland, the Lake Nash area, the well-known holding of Avon Downs, the natural and artificial courses of water, and also the sheep pastures. Some of the sheep were brought from Vandelin Island and their health improved dramatically as a result. Williams discusses the possibility of more sheep raising on this tableland, and supports his theory with a brief summary of the usage of the roads and railways and also on the Pastoral Settlement within the Northern Country in the preceding 50 years, while making suggestions for possible improvements.

2015réf. 145664Adelaide: Art Gallery of South Australia 2015. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Adelaide Art Gallery of South Australia 2015. Oblong quarto 168 pages with numerous illustrations from photographs by Trent Parke several in colour. Pictorial papered boards; tiny red mark on the front free endpaper; a near-fine copy. A substantial catalogue published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name held at the Art Gallery of South Australia March to May 2015. It was compiled by the photographer in association with curators Maria Zagala and Julie Robinson. The text accompanying the images is extracted 'from the fourteen artist's books that comprise "The Black Rose Diaries"'. '"The Black Rose" represents the culmination of seven years of work by internationally renowned Adelaide photographer Trent Parke. The catalyst for the exhibition was a tragic incident in the artist's past which has led Parke to explore universal ideas from a deeply personal perspective - birth death love loss memory and the passing of time. Between 2007 and 2014 in an attempt to reclaim memories of his childhood Parke took thousands of photographs of his surroundings and of everyday objects and wrote down his dreams and observations in diaries' from the exhibition website.
