King is a story about the author's survey of the then uncharted Australian coasts between 1818 and 1822. This real-life story dives into geography and interactions with native peoples. The story starts with a look at the preparations for the journey and details the initial route departing from Port Jackson making their first contact with native Australians at Twofold Bay.
