Extractions: Australia Books History Books Watkin Tench sailed to Australia with the First Fleet in 1788. In his late twenties, a captain of the marines, he was insatiably curious about the new British colony of Australia. In his four years in the country, he wrote two books about the early settlement which were bestsellers in their day. These are A Narrative of the Expedition to Botany Bay (1789) and An Account of the Settlement at Port Jackson (1793). Both are included in full in this edition under the title 1788. Tench is the most readable of writers, and his books are fascinating for the vivid portraits they provide of early Australia. He was commissioned to write them by a London publisher before he left, as the British were so hungry for information about unknown lands. Tench introduces us to the iconic figures of Arthur Phillip and Bennelong, and provides fascinating descriptions of the infant colony. This popular edition of his two books should be read by every Australian. Tench stands out amongst the storytellers of Australian history because of his lively and accessible writing, his ability to tell his tale with gusto and wit. 1788 is without doubt the most detailed and comprehensive account of the first years of British settlement.

Extractions: In line with the rest of the Western Sydney Local Government areas, Blacktown's economy has evolved from a mainly rural, agriculturally based economy to one dependent on commercial, manufacturing and light industrial activities. AGRICULTURE Due to difficulties of growing grain, much of the land in the area was turned over for the grazing of cattle and sheep. Governor King planned to have tracts of land reserved in each area to enable the common grazing of animals or for the grazing of government owned stock. By 1803 the Rooty Hill Stock Farm (an area approximating the current Blacktown City Council boundary) was set aside by the Government for grazing of government herds. The Rooty Hill Stock Farm was reduced in size over the years, finally closing in 1828. The Prospect Common was established in 1804, but the land was gradually granted away, and it was no longer in existence by 1829. Some of the larger landholders of the mid 1800's were involved in breeding horses - this pursuit is reflected in Blacktown City's coat of arms. In 1831, both Robert Lethbridge of "Flushcombe" and William Lawson of "Veteran Hall" were advertising their horses as studs - Lethbridge's "Bay Camerton" was considered to produce the best stock in the colony. [Cox, 1983: p.13-16]. The East India Company grazed horses at Bungarribee, a property in Doonside, and Walter Lamb was breeding trotters at first "Greystanes", Prospect and then "Woodstock", Rooty Hill. During a drought in 1876, Lamb sold off 400 head of horses and moved a further 100 to Goulburn or Molonglo [Olson: pp14-25].

Those natives who were round the boats made signs for us to go to them & made us understand their persons were at our service. However, I declined this mark of their hospitality but shewed a handkerchief, which I offered to one of the women, pointing her out. She immediately put her child down & came alongside the boat and suffered me to apply the handkerchief where Eve did the Fig leaf.." Lieutenant King (an officer of the First Fleet) Sex resides at the heart of how a community reproduces itself both culturally and physically. Because different societies have different problems in their world, they have different ways of living and different moralities towards sex. Capitalist societies are driven by the individual. Consequently, individual choice is fiercely protected by morality and law. Sex is considered one of the most important of all choices. On the other hand, hunter-gatherer societies were communally driven hence the individual was compelled to subordinate their desires to the will of the tribe. This included their sexual desires. Consequently, reproduction in tribes had no concept of "romantic love" - at least not publicly. Furthermore, although there was marriage, a woman did not depend upon a sole breadwinner for support. All people in the tribe helped her, and her children.
