While Six Voyages deliver an outline of The North's coastline, they represent the culmination of three strands of the European exploration of the Southern Hemisphere.
Add the Portuguese and French to those Spanish, Dutch and English navigators, and we have, in effect, an Australocentric history of world exploration.
Starting from the Perceptions and Misconceptions about what might lie south of the Equator, Outward Bound: Europeans carries the narrative to the point where voyagers enter Australia's neighbourhood.
Assuming those voyagers acted on information received, Early Visitors focuses on their likely sources.
From there, The Portuguese Question, Spanish, English and Dutch Approaches lead to the Torres, Jansz, Carstensz, Tasman, Gonzal/Van Asschens and Cook voyages.
