But in 1787 the peoples of Australia were not simply living in a timeless 'Dreamtime', following the seasons, and waiting for colonisation by Britain in 1788. In 1787, Nick Brodie uses the sailors, writers, scientists, and other visitors to our shores to reassess neglected chapters of Australia's early history. He turns the narratives of 'exploration' and 'discovery' around to take a closer look at the indigenous peoples, the broader regional scene, and what these encounters collectively tell. This is the sweeping story of Greater Australasia and its peoples, a long-overdue challenge to the myth that Australia's story started in 1788. 607 $aAustralia$xHistory$yTo 1788 676 $a994.01 700 $aBrodie$b Nicholas Dean$f1981-$01375456 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155092403321 996 $a1787$93409903 997 $aUNINA
