The Fatal Shore: The Epic Of Australia's Founding by Robert Hughes
"In 1787, the twenty-eighth year of the reign of King George III, the British Government sent a fleet to colonize Australia."
The continent had only been discovered 17 years prior and was on the other side of the world. I'm going to Australia this summer so I'm tackling this history again.

Have a wonderful trip!
I would love to go to Australia some time! Hope you have a great trip!!!
Here's my Book Beginnings post.
This sounds like one I would really enjoy. Have fun in Australia this summer.
That is certainly a straightforward beginning, given the topic.
I love reading books in anticipation of trips.
Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings!
