A Chiseler's Journal

There has been a large push by the European government to map out and explore inland Australia.
  Even enlisting the aid of the natives they still have not made it from the top to the bottom.
  The government hasn’t.
  I do it all the time, its easy.
  Just turn into a bat and fly over the ravines and up cliffs when you get stuck.
  I've seen a bunch of people trying to make it but they don’t make it all the way.

I came back to the city to get myself a new chisel (had to offer my last one to gain some literomantic insight from the natives), when I heard about a successful mission.
  A gang of explorers went north and returned when they reached the northern point.
  They nearly got back alive too!
  It was quite amusing talking to the native literomancers that tailed them and offered help, the explorers wouldn’t have it and nearly all of them died after stating “We can do this. We don’t need your help”.
  Of course if they did accept the help there was a chance nobody would return or they all would get home.
  It was so much more interesting talking about the rock art the natives used.
