In 1769, two ships set out in search of a missing continent. That Christmas, in New Zealand waters, the two captains were almost within sight of each other, though neither knew of the other's existence.
The story of these rival ships and the men who sailed them is told by Geoffrey Blainey AC in his new book Sea of dangers - State Library of New South Wales.
