Beyond the Southern Sea. Small Bites

George Bass sails beyond the limits of the known world in search of purpose, discovery, and freedom. Through savage seas, desperate voyages, and the perilous discovery of Bass Strait alongside Matthew Flinders, Bass helps reshape mankind's understanding of the southern continent. But as Sydney grows from a struggling penal colony into a place of ambition and trade, Bass himself begins to change. Exploration gives way to risk, fortune, and restless longing, drawing him ever farther from the man he once was.
Rich with danger, discovery, and the raw beauty of the southern oceans, Beyond the Southern Sea is an epic historical novel of adventure, endurance, and the relentless pull of the horizon-told through the eyes of one of Australia's greatest explorers, whose final voyage vanished into legend.
