Hi there,

Hesperian Press have released a couple more books. Hubbe and Lindsay. I have Lindsay's from a previous release but look forward to having a read of Hubbe.

"Samuel Grau Hubbe and the South Australia to Western Australia Stock Route Expedition 1895-1896."
SG Hubbe. Edited by Andrew Guy Peake.
(Western Australian Explorers' Diaries Project series.)

Contains the official and private journals of Hubbe and John Mahar and biographical notes on the men of the expedition.



"Journal of the Elder Scientific Exploring Expedition 1891-1892."
David Lindsay.
(Western Australian Explorers' Diaries Project series.)
Edited by Peter J. Bridge, Calliope Bridge and Celene Bridge.

With appendices on the plants by Alex George and animals by Ian Abbott, reported by the expedition. Also the full Anthropology report by Richard Helms which has not been available for over a century, which contains 6 colour plates and many b&w photos. Biographies of all the men.



Get them from the publishers or the normal outlets. I think EO member Stephen has an ancestor on the Hubbe expedition.

Cheers
Alan
