Terra Australis: The Baudin Voyage of Discovery, 1800-1804. A Background Resource for Teachers
By: Fielding, Mark; King, Sue; Pratt, Kate; Bloomfield, Noelene (ed.); Terra Australis 2001 WA Committee (ed.)
Published by: Terra Australis 2001 WA Committee
The 1800-1804 Baudin expedition was the greatest voyage of marine exploration of its age. The map makers surveyed around 50% of Australia's then largely unexplored coast - proving it a single continent, which led to the first comprehensive map of Australia's coastline. Over 200,000 botanical specimens were collected and 2,542 species identified for the first time. Despite his commitment and achievements Nicolas Baudin was largely unrecognised. Terra Australis: The Baudin Voyage of Discovery, 1800-1804 is an educational package for secondary schools which acknowledges the huge contribution made by Baudin, his cartographers, scientists, artists, officers and crew.

To the Heart of the Nile
By: Shipman, Pat
Published by: Harper Collins
In 1859, at age fourteen, Florence Szász stood before a room full of men and waited to be auctioned to the highest bidder. But slavery and submission were not to be her destiny: Sam Baker, a wealthy English gentleman and eminent adventurer, was moved by compassion and an immediate, overpowering empathy for the young woman, and braved extraordinary perils to help her escape. Together, Florence and Sam -- whose love would remain passionate and constant throughout their lives -- forged into literally uncharted territory in a glorious attempt to unravel a mysterious and magnificent enigma called Africa. A stunning achievement, To the Heart of the Nile is an unforgettable portrait of an unforgettable woman: a story of discovery, bravery, determination, and love, meticulously reconstructed through journals, documents, and private papers, and told in the inimitable narrative style that has already won Pat Shipman resounding international acclaim.
