AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This piece is not a description of an actual journey, but rather an intended one, by Sir Richard Bourke, through South America. The author ends by wondering why the route 'has not more frequently been chosen by gentlemen proceeding from New South Wales to England - that is, quitting the Colony not later than the month of January.'

Bourke returned to England in December 1837 via South America.
