Synopsis
Excerpt from New South Wales: Historical, Physiographical, and Economic
The history of the coming of civilization to our' shores, of its spread inland, of the development of our industries, and of the rise of self-government has already been told by many authors, to whose original works the reader is referred for details of events summarised in this volume.
The tale of how our land has taken the shape it now presents, and as to whence have come its plants and animals and aborigines, is known as yet only in part. The whole truth will never perhaps be known; and yet to win a glimpse of it is glorious.
