Description: 2013 Ludwig Leighhardt Australia Germany Joint Issue Unaddressed First day Cover with Commemorative $1 Coin Limited Numbers This year is the 200th anniversary of the birth of German naturalist and explorer Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Leichhardt (1813–c. 1848) whose mysterious disappearance in the Australian outback has become part of the nation’s mythology. Ludwig Leichhardt was born in Prussia, the sixth of eight children. Initially educated at the universities of Berlin and Göttingen, he also studied medical and natural sciences in London and Paris. He arrived in Sydney in February 1842 with the intention of exploring the inland of Australia. Leichhardt subsequently undertook three major expeditions: an overland expedition from the Darling Downs to Port Essington (1844 to 1845); an unsuccessful attempt, in 1846, to cross Australia east to west; and a fi nal east–west quest to cross the continent from the Condamine River to the Swan River. This last expedition, which set out in March 1848, resulted in the disappearance of Leichhardt and his entire party. No remains have ever been found. Leichhardt’s legacy includes his contribution to the natural sciences in Australia, detailed in his notebooks and diaries.“ Cover is in good condition Please check out my other Ebay items Postage Discount Available If purchasing more than one item please request an invoice or wait for one to be issued combining postage Orders over $40 will require registered mail Payment requested within 5 days unless otherwise arranged
