John Currey’s Records of the Port Philip Expedition offers a richly illustrated, first-edition chronicle of the 1803 voyage that first tried to settle Port Philip, today’s gateway to Melbourne. Collectors of Australian colonial history will appreciate the crisp narrative and the fold-out maps that chart the explorers’ progress along the southern coast.

This copy remains in very good, collector-grade shape: pages are clean, binding tight, no previous owner marks or ex-library stamps. The hardcover boards show minimal shelf wear and the book comes from a smoke-free home, ready to slip straight onto a shelf of maritime or Australian antiquarian titles.

Published by The Colony Press in 1993, the volume pairs archival images with Currey’s meticulous research, making it a handy reference for students of convict transportation, early naval activity, and British expansion. First editions with maps intact are increasingly scarce, so grab this one while it’s available.
