The Colony - A History of Early Sydney by Grace Karskens is a history of the contrary, energetic founding years of what is now Australia’s largest and best-known city. From its beginnings as a campsite in a beautiful cove, Grace Karskens reveals how the landscape of beaches and mountain foothills has shaped the lives of Sydney’s original aboriginal inhabitants and modern day dwellers alike. She traces how the relationship between colonial authorities and ordinary men and women broke age old patterns, and how the histories of settlers and aboriginals became entwined.
