The Nettie Palmer Prize for Non-fiction: Winner 2007


Cover of 'Voyages to the South Seas'

Voyages to the South Seas: In Search of Terres Australes

Danielle Clode
(The Miegunyah Press/Melbourne University Publishing in association with the State Library of Victoria)

Judges report

Danielle Clode's Voyages to the South Seas: In Search of Terres Australes utilises the creative and intellectual skills of the writer to tell the little-known story of the French exploration of, and engagement with, the Pacific landscape during the late 18th and early decades of the 19th century. This is both a scholarly and narrative-driven book that unfolds its history through the cast of real life characters who helped to form it.
