Sydney Harbour - A History (Paperback)

A sweeping history of one of the world's most recognised
landscapes, Sydney Harbour explores the story of the waterway from
the time of the Gameragal and Gadigal to the highly charged
contemporary debates about the future of the harbour. The story
moves as seamlessly as the tides as the harbour is taken from its
traditional owners and transformed from a penal colony on the outer
rim of the European imagination to an international commercial hub.
Along the way, the waterway is lauded for its uncommon beauty,
serves as an aquatic common enjoyed and contested. It becomes a
symbol of a city and, finally, of a nation. A beautifully written,
compelling book, this updated edition of Sydney Harbour lays out
the interaction between the glittering harbour and the people who
fish it, sail on it, build at the edges of it, fight for it,
portray it and marvel at it.
