内容説明・目次
内容説明
Early in 1836 Charles Darwin spent two months in Australia as part of his voyage around the world on the Beagle. During this time he visited the town of Sydney, travelled on horseback across the Blue Mountains to Bathurst, visited Hobart in Tasmania, and called in to King George Sound in Western Australia. Darwin met with several of the leading figures of the Australian colonies, including members of the King and Macarthur families in Sydney, and Alfred Stephen and George Frankland in Hobart. This illustrated book is based on the entire Australian section of Darwin's diary. This is supplemented by extracts from the notebook that he carried on the trip to Bathurst, together with extracts from his geological and zoological field notes.
