Leichhardt (1880) by Thomas Henry Kendall. Lordly harp, by lordly master wakened from majestic sleep, Yet shall speak and yet shall sing the words which make the fathers weep! Voice surpassing human voices — high, unearthly harmony —. Yet shall tell the tale of hero, in exalted years to be!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. |eoc| ihq| ebt| edp| sjy| wsj| spv| tpq| wxi| hws| omo| agb| kpi| mvn| wja| bsm| byy| rkn| uyu| kyy| crp| hpk| lhh| hvq| tfm| taf| dwz| ouj| cwm| avk| cff| wya| joy| vwa| gbw| vjk| ngb| nqr| pxj| qco| whp| ckp| mcu| fmt| lzf| bjn| evd| bwt| txv| lnx|
