Narrative of a Survey of the Intertropical and Western Coasts of Australia — Vol. 2 / Performed between the years 1818 and 1822

An extended maritime log recounts successive surveys of Australia's intertropical and western coasts, detailing charting efforts, harbor examinations, and coastal soundings. The author records navigation through reefs and straits, careening and refitting at foreign ports, and encounters with Indigenous communities including vocabulary and observations on customs, implements, and conflicts. Natural-history notes describe flora, fauna, tides, mirages, and geological features, while episodic incidents—wreck visits, losses of anchors, river explorations, hunting, and medical accidents—shape the narrative. Appendices treat hydrography, meteorology, and testaceous and botanical specimens gathered during the voyages.
