The treaty he negotiated with local Aborigines in 1835 to acquire land was controversial, as he offered tools, blankets and food in exchange for thousands of hectares of land.

In letters back to the Society when repaying their loans, these women reported on life as they saw it in the Colonies during the years 1862 - 82. Although mainly about those who came to Australia, there are chapters on those who went to New Zealand and South Africa, and also the few who went further away - to the United States, India, and most unlikely of all, one who went to Russia, where she found herself almost penniless in Czarist St Petersburg. The author also tried to find out what happened to the women after their letters to the Society stopped. These women had the courage to venture far - and their letters tell their story.

411. Ivison, Duncan (2002). Postcolonial Liberalism (1st ed). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (CUP). 214 pp. Paperback trade, very good condition, minor edgewear, old price marks. Duncan Ivison presents a compelling account of the challenges to liberal political theory by claims to cultural and political autonomy and land rights made by indigenous peoples today. Written in Australia, this book has a focus on Australian Aborigines. Public debate between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples has been often mired in mutual recrimination and misunderstanding. This experience is not unique to Australia. Attempts to present a larger picture within which to consider these questions, beyond the technicalities of legal doctrine and the bureaucratic imperatives of public policy. What is distinctive about this book is the middle way it charts between separatism, on the one hand, and assimilation, on the other. These two options present a false dichotomy as to what might constitute a genuinely postcolonial liberal society. ISBN/ASIN: 0521527511. Our Book No: 30432. $30 AUD.

The Municipality of Strathfield was created on 2 June 1885, and the suburb was favoured by the wealthy of Sydney. The first free settlers who arrived in Sydney in January 1793 established their farms in the area, then called 'Liberty Plains'. From 1841 to 1860 the famous Homebush Racecourse attracted the wealthy to the district. The Rookwood Cemetery, established in the early 1860s cheapened land at the outset and enabled the Redmire estate developer in 1868 to cheaply sell off large blocks. Extensive tree planting, community pride in garden maintenance and a ring of parkland allow the residents to enjoy the best of environments in an area close to the city. (Allen & Unwin, 1985.

Sydney can be vulgar, corrupt, facile, ugly, brash and mindlessly hedonistic, but it is also visually beautiful, sensual, playful, dynamic, with a sense of unrestrained optimism. "I fell in love with it as only someone who wasn't born there could". Acclaimed playwright and writer Louis Nowra - author of 'Kings Cross' and 'Woolloomooloo' - expands his gaze to explore the dynamism and pulsating sense of self-importance of his adopted city.

Along with its people, Nowra surveys the city's landscape, its architecture and its global identity. As Sydney's history unfolds throughout the 20th century and beyond, the author revels in its neon lights, music, skyscrapers, sense of optimism and the many disparate elements that shape the Sydneysider view of themselves.

Heavy, and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. Carolyn Strange and Alison Bashford have written a biography of the great Australian academic (University of Sydney). Thomas Griffith Taylor (1880 - 1963) was a geographer, anthropologist and world explorer. They explain what drove this 'long, lean, lanky' man to such extremes: geographically, intellectually and politically. His travels took him from Captain Scott's final expedition in Antarctica to every continent on earth. In a life that stretched from the Boer War to the Cold War, he sought to enlighten the public on the human relation to the environment. As a geographer whose work crossed into anthropology, he courted controversy and craved recognition. Today's preoccupations with climate change, the ascendancy of Asian nations, and the renewed threat of nuclear war, were all addressed by Taylor generations earlier.

Lang, and his loyalty to his electors of Balmain when he was in the New South Wales State Parliament during the years of the Great Depression. The author writes about his career as the youngest judge ever to sit on the High Court and pays close attention to the important judgements by which Evatt made legal history.

Very heavy (1.7 Kg), and not available for postage to destinations outside Australia. Marjorie Tipping traces the lives and experiences of the specially selected 308 convicts transported in H. M. S. Calcutta in 1803. These convicts with a military and civil establishment, free settlers and numerous families, arrived at Port Phillip to extend Britain's interests in New Holland. They moved to the Derwent, then began the settlement which became Hobart. This book is a unique work which took the author 35 years of research. Marjorie has chosen a significant moment relatively ignored in Australian history in order to follow the vicissitudes of those First Fleeters of Port Phillip and Van Diemen’s Land. The book is an important contribution to the study of criminology, for many of the conclusions differ from accepted views. As social history, it shows much about the interchanges between felon and free, male and female, in early Australian colonial days. The work also includes meticulous biographies of every Calcutta convict, with many surnames of the thousands of descendants - an amazing piece of genealogical research into the families of Australia. Marjorie has enhanced our lives with this book which reclaims the lives of the past. ISBN/ASIN: 0670900680. Our Book No: 41601. $70 AUD.

During several years of travelling the world, he spent most of 1834 in the young Australian colonies of Swan River, Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), Norfolk Island and New South Wales, looking at the flora and collecting the seeds for his gardens.

His observations of Australian plants greatly influenced botanist Ferdinand von Mueller. (Number 17 in the lavish Miegunyah Press series.). ISBN/ASIN: 052284474X. Our Book No: 41296. $90 AUD.
