Abstract

[Extract] This landmark publication is a mighty tome in all senses of the word. Historian Bill Gammage is well known for writing 'ground breaking' works of military scholarship. In this huge volume, he turns his exacting attention back to the year 1788 to consider the continent of Australia. What he has retrieved and uncovered challenges many of the taken for granted assumptions we work within as environmental educators in Australia. I will outline why I have come to this view, but you don't have to take my word alone. Read this book. Learn so much more about this magnificent continent that you were never taught at school.
