A Polish patriot wrote that Pawel Edmund Strzelecki discovered gold in Australia and that his greatest achievement was saving over 200 thousand Irish children from dying of hunger. He called him the Polish Indiana Jones, a traveler who embarrassed the British Empire, and a hero of Poland and another state. According to the author, Strzelecki traveled alone across six continents, discovered Australian coal and oil, and also conquered and named Mount Kosciuszko, the highest peak in Australia. The Polish patriot also described him as one of the most prominent scientific researchers of his time and the first Pole to circumnavigate the globe. He recalled that Strzelecki died on October 6, 1873, and called for his memory to be restored. #Historia #Podróże #Polska (translated)
