Presents a spellbinding chronicle of the centuries of searching by explorers convinced that the bottom of the world must contain a great Terra Incognita, whose mass balanced the land at the top, a conviction that led to the discovery of Australia.

Miriam Estensen was born in Chicago but has spent much of her life travelling, to many of the places which feature in Discovery. She was raised in Europe--mostly Spain and Sweden--and in the Phillipines. After completing her education in California she lived in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Today she lives with her husband, a retired sea captain, on the Gold Coast in Australia. She is writing a biography of another great traveller, Matthew Flinders.
