In 1826, partly as a means of curbing disorder and brutality in
bush living, Governor Darling established the area known as the
'limits of location' within which colonists could see land grants,
but beyond which they could not. The line on the map, however,
presented no real restraint. The contributors to this book reveal
different approaches to creating a colony. Using the rich
collections of the Mitchell Library, the authors go beyond the
traditional sources of history, highlighting the personal stories
revealed through family letters, and creative interaction with the
landscape through poetry and drawings. The roles of Aborigines,
missionaries, women and migrant workers are explored, and all
stories return to the way the newcomers created a sense of place as
they settled in this new world. This publication is supported by
the NSW Chapter of the Independent Scholars Association of
Australia.
