Summary
Details

These are the thirty-six years during which Australia evolved from a ramshackle penal colony into a substantial colonial presence, from the visionary Macquarie era to the beginning of the end of transportation. This book covers all the major events from Macquarie?s first days ? steadily bringing corruption under control; the development of substantial infrastructure; breaking down of class structures; widespread exploration and land settlement; the creation of South Australia, Port Phillip and Western Australia; and the heroic battles to end convict transportation. It also shows the steady political development as the colonies moved from autocratic control by all-powerful governors to the eve of self-government and elected parliaments. This was the time when daring explorers took on the harsh environment and opened up the land for settlement, all at the expense of the rights of the indigenous population. This is the period in which the Australia we know today began to be formed.
