Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Uncover the surprising history of trade and friendship between northern Australia and Asia before European settlement.For centuries, seafarers from Asia journeyed across an ancient ocean highway to northern Australia. Macassan trepang traders sailed from what is now Indonesia in search of sea cucumbers-known as trepang. These voyages forged early links between Asia and Australia, shaping trade, culture, and friendship with Australia's First Nations peoples.This engaging and accessible book explores questions such as: Did the Chinese visit Australia long ago? and Why was trepang so highly prized? It takes readers on the journey of the Macassans, reveals how rock art records their visits, and explains why this centuries-long exchange eventually came to an end. The story concludes with The Trepang Legacy, showing how these encounters left lasting marks on language, culture, and memory.Written for curious minds and students, Australia and China Before Captain Cook provides a clear and compelling introduction to Australia's earliest international connections. It highlights how trade and cultural exchange shaped history long before Captain Cook's arrival, giving readers a richer understanding of Australia's place in Asia and the world.Perfect for classrooms, libraries, and anyone interested in Australia's hidden past, this first book in the Chinese Australians series brings to life a little-known chapter of history that continues to resonate today.
