The generous assistance of many individuals has made this volume possible, and while everyone who contributed cannot be named, my appreciation goes out to all who assisted. Several people, however, made long-term commitments to this undertaking, and mere words of acknowledgment cannot adequately convey the importance of the role they played. From the outset, I had intended to create - not simply a transcription of Sturt's journals - but an informative, fully annotated edition that would be useful to a wide readership. In order to do so, I depended on the expertise of some of the best people in the fields of Australian anthropology, botany, and ornithology, fields far outside my limited knowledge. When I initially asked for their assistance, every one came on board with exceptional enthusiasm.

First, I wish to express my appreciation for the valuable insight and information about Aboriginal culture that was provided by Dr Philip Jones, Senior Curator, Department of Anthropology, South Australian Museum, Adelaide, South Australia. Dr Jones not only supplied nearly all the detailed information about Aborigines and Sturt's observations of them, but as a South Australian himself, Dr Jones was able to facilitate this project in dozens of ways. He always shared his time and knowledge unstintingly and with good humour.

The copious annotations related to Sturt's botanical observations were made by Mr Rodney J. F. Flenderson, recently retired from the post of Senior Principal Botanist, Queensland Herbarium, Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha, Toowong, Queensland. His annotations were provided with a remarkable enthusiasm for care, accuracy, and thoroughness, and he displayed a generous patience with my often-unscientific mind.
