A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A midst all the wonderful revolutions tliat have marked the present century, no country beneath the sun has experienced such a rapid change, in so short a period, as the Australian colony of Port Phillip. Tracing the gradual development of this colony, we find that, in the year 1788, the first British convict ships landed their melancholy freight on these shores, and until the year 1803 this country remained a penal settlement. In that year the convicts were transferred to the Derwent. The first French discovery ships, under Capt. Baudin, entered Western Port bay and christened one of the large islands there, French I sland, which name it now bears. Capt. Sturt appears to have been the first European visitor to the banks of the Murray in 1829. Major Mitchell, however, was the discoverer of Australia Felix in 1836; but Batman was the founder of the colony of Port Philip, and one of the earliest settlers in the Melbourne district.
