Description
The Story of Australia is that of an epic journey. It begins with the division of continents and travels through some of the most dynamic and daring explorations, to the establishment of the first settlements of what has become on of the world's most vibrant countries. With almost 200 illustrations and more than two dozen facsimilie documents for the reader to examine, this fascinating book recounts the stories of seafarers such as Anthony van Diemen and William Dampier, and explains how the land known originally as "Terra Australis" was finally claimed by Captain Cook and used as a penal colony by the British, but went on to forge its own identity, and saw the reclaimation of their heritage by its indigenous people.
