Description From Source	Full title: Verslag eener reis van den Nederlandschen Consul-General te Melbourne, aan boord van Zr. Ms. stoomschip Curacao, langs de oost- en noordkust van Australie, in Julij-October, 1871. 114p. ; 27cm. I. Verslag aangaande de kolonie Nieuw Zuid-Wallis II. Verslag aangaande de kolonie Queensland III. Verslag aangaande het noordelijk grondgebied der kolonie Zuid-Australie IV. Verslag aangaande Nieuw Guinea en Torrestraat V. Reisverhalen / van Henry M. Chester ; vertaald door J. Batten. Reports concerning New South Wales, Queensland, the northern territory of South Australia (which then incorporated the Northern Territory), New Guinea and the Torres Strait by J.W. Ploos van Amstel, Consul-General of the Netherlands for Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania. Ploos van Amstel’s accounts are signed Cardwell [North Queensland]; Sweers Island [Gulf of Carpenteria]; Port Darwin, 1871. He travelled on board the steamship Curaçao and strongly recommended the establishment of a new steamboat line between Australia and the Dutch East Indies. The publication also includes a Dutch translation of an account of the travels of Henry Majoribanks Chester (signed Somerset [on the northern tip of Cape York Peninsula], 1871). It was written after Chester had resigned, and before he resumed serving as police magistrate in 1875, and therefore probably contains different content to his later Narrative of Expeditions to New Guinea (1878).
