Travel writing is a key mechanism by which readers learn about other peoples and cultures, a genre that is crucial to the formation of identities, ideologies, and ideas. Australian travel writing provided foundational texts for those emigrating to the colony. This project positions Australian texts within an international comparative sphere. It will advance the understanding of colonial culture in Australia, and of the perceptions and values of those who settled colonial Australia. It will make available to Australian and international students and researchers a rich archive of texts that have not been previously mapped. Australians are keenly interested in travel and its literature, and this project brings colonial travel texts to public attention.

旅行写作是读者了解其他民族和文化的重要途径，是形成身份、意识形态和思想的关键。澳大利亚游记为那些移民到殖民地的人提供了基础文本。该项目将澳大利亚文本置于国际比较领域。它将促进对澳大利亚殖民文化的理解，以及那些在殖民时期定居澳大利亚的人的观念和价值观。它将为澳大利亚和国际学生和研究人员提供以前没有绘制过的丰富的文本档案。澳大利亚人对旅游及其文学有着浓厚的兴趣，这个项目将殖民时期的旅游文本带到公众的视线中。
