This book follows the epic voyages of natural history of Continent Australia, Joseph Banks, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace.

The voyage of Continent Australia after it breaks away from Antarctica 50 million years ago with its raft of Gondwanaland flora and fauna, and begins its journey north towards the equator.

The voyage of Joseph Banks on the Endeavour, who, with Daniel Solander, became the first trained naturalist to describe the unique flora and fauna of Continent Australia that had evolved during its 30 million years of isolation.

The voyage of Charles Darwin on the Beagle, who, after his observations in South America and the Galapagos Islands, sat on the banks of the Coxs River in New South Wales and tried to rationalise his belief in the idea of biblical creation and understand the origin of species.

The voyage of Alfred Russel Wallace, who realised that the Lombok Strait in Indonesia represents the biogeographical boundary between the fauna of Asia and those of Australasia. It was tectonic plate movement that brought these disparate worlds together and it was Alfred Russel Wallace's 'Letter from Ternate' that forced Charles Darwin to finally publish his landmark work 'On the Origin of Species'.

Burnet, Ian: - Ian Burnet grew up in South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia and has a degree in Geology and Geophysics from Melbourne University. He has spent more than thirty years living, working, and travelling in Indonesia, and his books show his fascination with the diverse history of the vast archipelago to the north of Australia.
