PXA 1793

2 handwritten index volumes in 2 commercial ruled ledger books. Numbered 1000-5908. Only the second volume of the index (numbered  5701-5908) corresponds with the numbering on the slide mounts. The numbering in the first volume of the index does not match the slides. In some sections of the first volume, the descriptive entries clearly follow the order of the slides but with numbers offset from the slides by varying amounts; in other sections, there appears to be no correlation between the index and the slides, although the index may relate to content in the slide collection.

Item 06: Walkabout magazine : South Australian photographs [BHP, water]

A small pocket notebook. The sketches are in watercolour and pencil. Portion of the diary appears to have been written first in pencil and afterwards in ink.
The diary records events from 3-21 November 1845 when the party was on the return journey to Adelaide. They explored Cooper's Creek before returning to The Park, or Fort Grey, a depot which they had established on the outward journey. The heat was extreme and they found little water. Sturt describes the  appearance and customs of the Aboriginal people, as well as the vegetation, soil and wildlife of the area.
Some sketches are dated, with date range 11 Sept.-22 Nov. 1844. Undated sketches were made probably before and certainly after these dates: the grave sketched on page 88 is described on 29 Oct. 1845 in the 1849 printed account of the expedition. The sketches formed the basis for some of the engravings in the printed account. Some pencil sketches are very faint. List of sketches:
