A continent where the seasons ran backwards and the interior was still an open argument. Carpenter's reader crosses Australia's sheep runs and goldfields, then works out through New Zealand and the island groups of the Pacific, describing the distances, the trade and the strangeness with the flat competence of a man who found none of it exotic.
