He tells of the explorers' reactions to the coastlines they saw, and to the continent's strange plants and animals. Place names bestowed by these intrepid explorers assume new meaning when they are seen in the context of their discovery.This was the period (1606-1777) when Europeans first came to knowledge of Australia's Aboriginal inhabitants. John Kenny records the significance of this contact for both peoples, by reproducing at length, extracts from the explorers' journals.While modern consciousness has shown us the harm European imperialism often did to indigenous peoples, the story of the European discovery of the outer world remains a great one, involving as it does striking feats of navigation, detailed record-keeping, and sometimes intriguing mystery.With illustrations carefully chosen to complement the written records, Before the First Fleet offers rich and diverse materials for our understanding of the European quest for and occupation of the southern continent, and of what was here before the Europeans."
