The history of New South Wales and Australia once seemed interchangeable. But since at least the 1850s New South Wales has had a unique history, partly growing out of its origins as a convict colony at Port Jackson, and largely shaped by natural resources that produce a wealth and a home for an ever increasing population. Ideal for students and general readers who need an introduction to the history of New South Wales, this book offers readers a concise chronicle of events from the first fleet to the present day.
