Summary On 14 May 1858, an expedition of discovery led by John McDouall Stuart departed from a copper mine located on the very edge of the known world in the North Flinders Ranges. It was to be the first of six expeditions mounted by Stuart. Stuart was to be the first European to cross Australia from south to north and return again. Yet his hero's homecoming was shortlived. Mr Stuart's Track is a fascinating study of a loner, an explorer of no fixed abode, who battled alcoholism and ill health to push himself to the limits of endurance. John Bailey has brilliantly re-created the life and journeys of Australia's greatest, and least understood, explorer.
