Bicentennial: An Australian Mosaic and 1788 Diary

198pp, with black and white illustrations throughout. Laminated pictorial paper-covered boards. 4to. . sun-faded spine, lightly bumped spine head. Internally clean, neat, bright and tight. A history of Australia which examines an ancient country and a youthful nation - a place which has had much of its history inflicted on it and a country where the exploration and conquest have been domestic, much of it related to the taming of a harsh, ungenerous land.
