Step ashore with the first British transports at Botany Bay and watch the world of eighteenth-century New South Wales take shape. In The History of New South Wales, George Barrington gathers early reports, colonial records and travellers' tales into a vivid early colonial history narrative that traces the discovery, exploration and settlement of the coastline from Captain Cook era Australia through the founding of Sydney, Port Jackson and Parramatta. The past feels close here. A distant imperial decision becomes a permanent presence in rough new camps on the far side of the globe. Both classic Australian history book and historical eyewitness account, this volume records the daily realities of the Botany Bay penal colony and the lives of British convicts in Australia, alongside careful observations of Aboriginal customs and manners and the transforming landscape around the first settlements. It serves as a primary source for researchers and a compelling narrative for Australian history students and general readers alike, preserving key testimony from the first fleet era history and the early settlement of Sydney. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today, a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
