"On 13 May 1787 more than 1,500 people sailed with the eleven ships of the First Fleet to become the founders of the modern nation of Australia. After 20 years of research Mollie Gillen has produced the most comprehensive study to date of the people of the First Fleet. Based largely on original sources in Britain and Australia, it functions both ad a detailed historical reference work with much new information and also as a very readable social history. Every person who sailed with the First Fleet or was born on board has been included whether a child, convict, sailor, marine or officer. The result is a fascinating series of pen-pictures in a total of 1,442 biographical entries. The background of each first Fleeter is examined (including the circumstances of the crime and trial of each convict) as well as their lives after 1788 as they spread throguh New South Wales, Norfolk Island, Van Diemen's land and in some cases, returned to England ... The book includes extensive explanatory notes, is fully indexed with a number of maps, illustrations, and the facsimile signatures and marks of hundreds of First Fleeters. Twelve appendices include abstracts of biographical information, descriptions of the First Fleet ships and their crews, a chronology of the First Fleet, miscellaneous facts of interest, statistics and the "Phantom Fleeters": persons inaccurately claimed in earlier publications to be First Fleeters ..."--Inside front cover.

Excerpt from Australian Pioneers and Reminiscences: Together With Portraits of Some of the Founders of Australia Ere it not for prescribed custom and the circum stances under which this volume has been published Australian Pioneers and Reminiscences would probably 'have been ushered in without further introduction than that which its title page bears. These circumstances, while lending a melancholy interest to the book, appear to me to also make a preface necessary.

Australia is the last continent to be settled by Europeans, but it also sustains a people and a culture tens of thousands of years old. For much of the past 200 years the newcomers have sought to replace the old with the new. This book tells how they imposed themselves on the land, and brought technology, institutions and ideas to make it their own. It relates the advance from penal colony to a prosperous free nation and illustrates how, in a nation created by waves of newcomers, the search for binding traditions has long been frustrated by the feeling of rootlessness. This revised edition incorporates the most recent historical research and contemporary historical debates on frontier violence between European settlers and Aborigines and the Stolen Generations. It covers the Sydney Olympics, the refugee crisis and the 'Pacific solution'. More than ever before, Australians draw on the past to understand their future.

The Story of Australia provides a fresh, engaging and comprehensive introduction to Australia’s history and geography. An island continent with distinct physical features, Australia is home to the most enduring Indigenous cultures on the planet. In the late eighteenth century newcomers from distant worlds brought great change. Since that time, Australia has been shaped by many peoples with competing visions of what the future might hold. This new history of Australia integrates a rich body of scholarship from many disciplines, drawing upon maps, novels, poetry, art, music, diaries and letters, government and scientific reports, newspapers, architecture and the land itself, engaging with Australia in its historical, geographical, national and global contexts. It pays particular attention to women and Indigenous Australians, as well as exploring key themes including invasion/colonisation, land use, urbanisation, war, migration, suburbia and social movements for change. Elegantly written, readers will enjoy Australia’s story from its origins to the present as the nation seeks to resolve tensions between Indigenous dispossession, British tradition and multicultural diversity while finding its place in an Asian region and dealing with global challenges like climate change. It is an ideal text for students, academics and general readers with an interest in Australian history, geography, politics and culture.

This book provides an arresting interpretation of the history of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific from the earliest settlements to the present. Usually viewed in isolation, these societies are covered here in a single account, in which the authors show how the peoples of the region constructed their own identities and influenced those of their neighbours. By broadening the focus to the regional level, this volume develops analyses - of economic, social and political history - which transcend national boundaries. The result is a compelling work which both describes the aspirations of European settlers and reveals how the dispossessed and marginalized indigenous peoples negotiated their own lives as best they could. The authors demonstrate that these stories are not separate but rather strands of a single history.
