In 1788 a fleet of convicts and marines dropped anchor at Botany Bay to found a colony at the end of the known world. This account follows Governor Phillip's voyage and the first settlement of Port Jackson and Norfolk Island, recording the land, the harbor, and the strange new plants and animals of Australia. Witness a continent's colonial dawn.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
