Michael Terry, known as "The Last of the Australian Explorers" was an explorer and gold prospector, and the leader of fourteen inland Australia expeditions between 1923 and 1935, mainly working for Adelaide mining companies seeking minerals. This is a succinct account of his prospecting expedition to the Petermann and Tomkinson Ranges in Central Austraila, in which he traversed approximately 3000 miles in the lands west of the Overland Telegraph Line in search of useful minerals including gold.
