Excursions in NSW, Western Aus., & Van Diemans Land, 1830-1833

Being Australia Day, some may be interested in the story of the colonies, in the beginning. A very interesting read, by Lieut. Breton, R.N. For some reason it starts at chapter 7, scroll up to the beginning.

Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy learning more of our history. Also I feel some connection to that period as I am a direct descendant of the first WA Colonial Chaplin (Wittenoom) and some early explorers ( Goyder and Egerton-Warburton). None of them died of their adventures so no-one was too interested in them as I grew up in the 70s!

Hi,
The link is

without the <>.
Change the 7 to a 1 and it should start at the top.

Thanks for sharing all your interesting treasures.

Cheers
