06.01.2022 BOOK AVAILABLE FOR $25 - A BARGAIN PRICE ================================================== JOHN OXLEY: A NEW PERSPECTIVE... Contains: Biographies of John Oxley, George William Evans, Charles Fraser & John Harris along with profiles of the convicts; James Blake, Barnaby Butler, Patrick Byrne, John Dwyer,Thomas Elliss, Francis Lloyd, Henry Shippey, George Simpson, William Warner, Richard Watts, James William and John Williams. Comments on the 1818 Expedition along with a full copy of Oxley’s report on the 1818 Expedition. 228 pages, 136,148 words, 8 maps, 31 B & W and 46 colour prints. This expedition was the first major exploration of the interior of NSW. It provided a detail description of the north west of NSW, Liverpool Plains and the Hastings River valley. This immaculately and painstakingly researched book, through its biographies of Oxley, Evans, Fraser and Harris explains the impulses that drove these men to explore and map the colony, to collect, identify and categorise its flora. But it succeeds in doing much more than that because it also elucidates the motivations that drove them to become colonial entrepreneurs, farmers and businessmen, who, in the pursuit of individual wealth advanced colonial prosperity. This important book makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of Australia’s European origins. Emeritus Professor Richard Waterhouse FAHA FASSA, School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry, University of Sydney, NSW.
