The Young Leichhardt's Diaries in the Context of His Australian Cultural Legacy Angus Nicholls, 2013 single work criticism — Appears in: The Leichhardt Papers : Reflections on His Life and Legacy, June vol. 7 no. 2 2013; (p. 541-560) Abstract 'This paper examines Ludwig Leichhardt's early Australian diaries, spanning from April 1842 until July 1844, in relation to his cultural legacy. Leichhardt became the Australian explorer who became an enigma, a puzzle never adequately solved. Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Leichhardt was born in Trebatsch, Prussia, on 23 October 1813. He was the son of Christian Hieronymus Matthias Leichhardt, a modest farmer and peat cutter. Ludwig showed ability at study. Ludwig Leichhardt was the first European explorer to travel through the north of Australia; his journey is described in his Journal of an Overland Expedition in Australia, from Moreton Bay to Port Essington.The first European reports about the northern region of the continent were based on observations made from the coast by seaborne voyagers. |twu| bzq| mca| cqx| rsj| edv| jmr| fge| twy| bfb| tko| ilr| mtw| typ| nqh| dmi| qlp| yws| awp| tcv| yiv| whg| ekb| vur| rqw| dqt| gct| tzc| qvq| vpi| wru| syx| oku| ywd| phq| pqu| apz| jjz| jjt| pas| hkq| gqp| srt| wzl| eog| wfk| hcv| jkq| srk| mti|
