The people of Port Sydney and Mary Lake upon which it is located were unique. They arrived with the first rush of settlers. They were also well educated and were “characters”. Yes the area followed the usual pattern ...lumbering, the era of the lodges and eventually cottagers and their supporting trades....but the community left its indelible mark in its development because of these unique people. I hope that I have been able to demonstrate this in the book. This book is meant to follow the other two books: ‘These Memories I Leave to You and the Newcomers” The selection of material is thus limited to: What is available. What has not been dealt with in these previous books. I hope that you enjoy the stories.
First Australians is the dramatic story of the collision of two worlds that created contemporary Australia. Told from the perspective of Australia's first people, it vividly brings to life the events that unfolded when the oldest living culture in the world was overrun by the world's greatest empire. Seven of Australia's leading historians reveal the true stories of individuals—both black and white—caught in an epic drama of friendship, revenge, loss and victory in Australia's most transformative period of history. Their story begins in 1788 in Warrane, now known as Sydney, with the friendship between an Englishman, Governor Phillip, and the kidnapped warrior Bennelong. It ends in 1992 with Koiki Mabo's legal challenge to the foundation of Australia. By illuminating a handful of extraordinary lives spanning two centuries, First Australians reveals, through their eyes, the events that shaped a new nation. Note: This is the unillustrated version ofFirst Australians.
