Book Description
The Birth of Sydney tells the story of the founding of one of the world’s greatest cities. Tim Flannery’s brilliant anthology reveals Sydney’s strange and secret life from its unruly beginnings as a dump for convicts to its arrival as the ‘queen of the south’ a century later. In this compelling narrative history we hear the voices of everyone from Aboriginal women to Russian sailors, from Elizabeth Macarthur to Charles Darwin and a host of others.
