Settlement Growth: Despite early hardships and food shortages, the colony?later named Perth?was established as the capital, with Fremantle as the commercial port. About the Book Authors: Reginald T. Appleyard and Toby Manford. Publisher: University of Western Australia Press (1979/1981).Focus: It analyzes the motivation behind the settlement, including political maneuvers and the challenges faced by the first settlers.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. The Beginning - European Discovery and Early Settlement of Swan River Western Australia by R. T. Appleyard and Toby Manford is a detailed study of the exploration and early colonial history of Western Australia. The book traces European exploration of the western coast of Australia from the early 17th century. Dutch traders, navigating to the East Indies, revealed to Europe the existence of an arid and inhospitable coastline. The narrative then shifts to James Stirling's pivotal 1827 expedition to the Swan River, examining his detailed report, its initial dismissal by British officials, and Stirling's remarkable success in later persuading them to establish the Swan River Colony. Rich in historical insight, this book offers an invaluable perspective on the motivations, challenges, and political manoeuvres that shaped the foundation of Western Australia's first free settlement. It is essential reading for those interested in early exploration, colonial decision-making, and the roots of the Swan River Colony. N° de réf. du vendeur 1245
