Children's Non-Fiction

European nations explored the Americas and Asia, searching for gold, silver and spices. They also sent ships into the unmapped southern seas. Discover what the great explorers, such as Tasman, Cook and Flinders, found in the bottom half of the world.

Explorers follows the earliest voyages by European explorers to and around Australia.

About the series:
Written for the new Australian History Curriculum, the Identity series asks students: Who lived here first? Why did the great journeys of exploration occur? Why did the Europeans settle in Australia? How do we remember significant events of the past?
