Out of Grey’s Shadow, the Story of John Coles, Soldier, Pioneer and Explorer with Sir George Grey and Edward John Eyre

John Coles’ story is one of hardship and privation. He joined two failed expeditions to discover a Great River in North-Western Australia, enduring cyclones, shipwreck and a mutinous 300 mile trek over tortuous country. He later accompanied E J Eyre in a quest to be first to the interior of the continent.
