DOWNLOAD EBOOKThree overview essays explore the broad nature of Australian landscapes, the ways in which we have used and abused them, our attitudes toward them, and the ways we have perceived them. Seven case studies then explore the history of human-environment interactions in more detail across a variety of scales of time (decades, centuries, millennia) and space (sectors, regions, districts). There are analyses of small districts, large regions and natural resource sectors, from the Great Barrier Reef and the Brigalow domain, through the high country to the arid centre. In the Conclusion, Bill Gammage argues that the critical question facing us is not the current catch-phrase 'sustainable development', but sustainable damage - how much can our environment take?

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Early History of the Colony of Victoria" is a two-volume historical work covering the first attempt by Europeans to settle in the area that eventually became the state of Victoria, led by Colonel David Collins in 1803, the foundation of Melbourne in 1835, and its economic growth after the discovery of gold in 1851. The second volume describes the effects of the gold rush, including the management of the goldfields, the imprisonment of unlicensed miners, and the miners' revolts against taxes, and covers political developments up to Victoria's integration into the Commonwealth of Australia.
