Yes - Got my copy a week ago.
Very detailed composition. I'm up to page 15 already.
As
well as the journals from 1826 to 1835 it has:
Stirlings report on the state of the colony 1830
Colonial office - Instructions to
explorers 1832
amoungst of things..
It also has 14 maps included (on the pages)
At 610 pages it will take a while to get through. Only a 1000 copies were printed so be quick.
Cheers
Equinox

If you go to the Gutenberg Project website you can download a heap of these for free.
Check out
http://gutenberg.net.au/explorers.html. It is an absolute treasure trove of expired copyright volumes and you will never read it all. About the nly thing it doesn't have is Frank Hann's work, because it's reallyonly been published quite recently.
Enjoy, Paul B, Kalgoorlie, WA
