Summary "This is first history of New South Wales to be published in over a century. From its convict origins to the present day, Beverley Kingston describes the dramatic events and fascinating characters that have shaped the history of Australia's first state. Beginning with the convict colony at Port Jackson and tracing the way New South Wales has been shaped by natural resources that produced both wealth and a home for an ever-increasing population, this book provides a concise chronicle of events from the first fleet to the present day."--BOOK JACKET.
