SYDNEY COVE 1788 Compiled by John Cobley1987 | Angus & Robertson Publishers | 296 pages"What better way to know the experiences of Sydney's first year than through the diaries, letters and ships' logs of the colonists? In this classic account of the early days of British settlement in Australia, John Cobley brings together the words of Surgeons John White and Arthur Bowes, Lieutenant Philip Gidley King, Watkin Tench and others. Those who joined the First Fleet willingly and those who had no choice in the matter — all have their say here. These firsthand records create a vivid picture of everyday life in the colony, illuminated in this deluxe edition by the paintings of the early settlers. Each day of 1788 brought new dangers and discoveries concerning this unknown country and the people and animals that inhabited it; Sydney Cove 1788 is both a meticulous record of such daily events and a mosaic of the colonists' responses to the challenges presented by an alien land. For those who relish an absorbing narrative and those who seek a fastidiously researched account of Sydney's first year, John Cobley's book will prove a welcome addition to their shelves."Shipping (Australia): The item will be shipped via tracked parcel post within 5 business days.Shipping (International): International Shipping is available with tracking number provided.
