| Description: |
It is conventional wisdom that Australia's colonists not only despised their new environment but also were blind to their own destructiveness. This title challenges this stereotype by revealing the breadth and depth of environmental concern in Australia from the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. |
| Synopsis: |
When the First Fleet sailed for NSW in 1787, the British government ordered Governor Phillip to preserve the cattle, sheep and hogs he brought with him but not the environment he found. Yet Phillip and his officers were quick to try to protect Australia's land. This book challenges the equation of colonization with destruction. |
