"Narrative of a Survey of the Intertropical and Western Coasts of Australia, Vol. 1" is an account of the exploration of the new continent by Phillip Parker King. King and his crew contributed valuable contributions to Australia's exploration and mapping. Because they were prepared to risk the danger of going in close to the shoreline, they were able to complete the valuable work of charting the entire coastline of Australia.
