1787 The Lost Chapters of Australia’s Beginnings.

Nick Brodie.

A fascinating account of how the European frontier gradually spread to Australasia as voyages of discovery encountered and interacted with the indigenous peoples of Australia and New Zealand, before formal colonisation began. Provides background for the impact on European science of new plants and animals collected by Joseph Banks, travelling with James Cook, and by other visiting botanists and naturalists.
