I suppose I should have kept my late 1950's 5th class Social Studies books from Petersham Public School. All those dotted lines over a map of Australia drawn using a green plastic template. Those were the days! Mrs Penny loved to teach that stuff.
Now as I grow a little older and there's a little red dust coursing through my veins I am finding I am becoming more and more interested with our early inland explorers.
I recently caught the tail end on Austar of Peach's Australian Explorers. All I got was the spearing of Kennedy and Jackie Jackie staying by his side.
I'd love to get hold of the series but initial attempts see the ABC wanting mega dollars per episode.
Anybody know where I can get hold of similar videos or DVDs covering the early exploration of OZ.
Failing Videos, can anybody suggest "easy reading " history books on the subject.

Regards,

Rosscoe
