The Australian National University-Tasmanian National Parks and Wildlife Service Archaeological Expedition to the Franklin and Gordon Rivers, 1983: A Summary of Results

Abstract
Fallen trees in every direction had interrupted our march, and it is a question whether ever human beings either civilised or savage had ever visited this savage looking country. Be this as it may, all about us appeared well calculated to arrest the progress of the traveller, sternly forbidding man to traverse those places which nature had selected for its own silent and awful repose [Jorgen Jorgenson, 19 March 1827; Binks 1980: 75].
