Book excerpt: "Who were the first convicts? They had volunteered in March 1821 to come to Port Macquarie and start building the new penal settlement, in return for the promise of a ticket of leave. But they had mostly been forgotten, because no list of them has survived. By trawling through the convict records, and piecing together fragments of evidence, some of it quite circumstantial, the author has identified almost 60 of them - now restored to history. Here are their stories." -- Back cover.

Book excerpt: The authors, both senior Birrpai men, begin by describing the traditional culture, law and way of life of the Birrpai people whose lands stretched from the Hastings River district southwards to beyond the Manning River. The arrival of a large group of white men in the region in 1818, when John Oxley and his party trespassed into the Hastings Valley and followed the river to its mouth at the place Oxley named Port Macquarie, was the trigger for catastrophic impact on Birrpai society. In 1821 a penal colony was established at Port Macquarie, leading to years of complex interactions between the Birrpai, the militia and convicts; sometimes hostile, sometimes seeking forms of accommodation. After the colonial government provided free settlers with access to Birrpai lands in 1830, interactions became even more complex, and the Birrpai were increasingly dispossessed of their lands while still attempting to maintain their traditions and autonomy. The establishment of the Aboriginal Protection Board in 1882 heralded official policies of segregation, with many Birrpai forced onto reserves with their own black schools, whilst being denied many of the basic rights enjoyed by whites. Others amongst the Birrpai overtly fought to maintain their rights to their lore and lands. Over the following decades, State and National policies towards Indigenous people transformed from segregation to integration. The policy of assimilation was largely adopted by the Commonwealth in 1938, the year in which Indigenous leaders declared 26 January as a Day of Mourning. In the 1960s the fight for social justice stepped up and after the 1967 Referendum was overwhelmingly passed, further reforms were made, leading, after a long struggle, to the passage of Land Rights legislation and forms of self-determination. The book examines the impact of all these changes on the Birrpai people, the moves towards recognition and reconciliation, and ends by looking ahead at what still needs to be done to remedy the remaining and seemingly intractable issues of social and restorative justice, and the resultant social and cultural disadvantages suffered by First Peoples throughout Australia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia's economic history is the story of the transformation of an indigenous economy and a small convict settlement into a nation of nearly 23 million people with advanced economic, social and political structures. It is a history of vast lands with rich, exploitable resources, of adversity in war, and of prosperity and nation building. It is also a history of human behaviour and the institutions created to harness and govern human endeavour. This account provides a systematic and comprehensive treatment of the nation's economic foundations, growth, resilience and future, in an engaging, contemporary narrative. It examines key themes such as the centrality of land and its usage, the role of migrant human capital, the tension between development and the environment, and Australia's interaction with the international economy. Written by a team of eminent economic historians, The Cambridge Economic History of Australia is the definitive study of Australia's economic past and present.
