The year 1822 saw the end of an era, with the departure of Major-General Lachlan Macquarie, the longest serving Governor of the colony. The 1822 musters are very important records, reflecting the nature of the colony at the end of his governorship, through the circumstances of the individuals residing in the colony. The muster provides confirmation of, or sometimes the only reference to, other relationships as well. Details of husbands, wives, sons and daughters are frequently recorded - however, the muster also includes references to grandchildren, nephews and nieces, brothers and sisters and even adopted children. This book will be a good reference for anyone with an interest in Australian history and genealogy. First edition stated. ISBN/ASIN: 0949032085. Our Book No: 40633. $80 AUD.

About the women, governesses sponsored by the Female Middle Class Emigration Society, who left Britain to seek a better life in the Colonies. They borrowed money for their fare from the Society. In letters back to the Society when repaying their loans, these women reported on life as they saw it in the Colonies during the years 1862 - 82. Although mainly about those who came to Australia, there are chapters on those who went to New Zealand and South Africa, and also the few who went further away - to the United States, India, and most unlikely of all, one who went to Russia, where she found herself almost penniless in Czarist St Petersburg. The author also tried to find out what happened to the women after their letters to the Society stopped. These women had the courage to venture far - and their letters tell their story.

Beverley Earnshaw provides a fascinating look at the prison hulk 'Phoenix'. She swung to her moorings on the North Shore of Sydney Harbour in the area now known as Lavender Bay. She was a derelict ship, stripped of her tackle and unable to sail. Just as the prison hulks of England had been used for the overflow of prisoners from the goals, the 'Phoenix' had been deployed to confine the worst categories of secondary offenders in New South Wales (NSW), one of whom, wearing leg irons, jumped overboard and his body was never found.

The convicts were led by William Swallow, a prisoner for life. After leaving the crew, military guard and passengers on the desolate shore, Swallow skilfully sailed the brig across the Pacific to Tahiti then back to the Tongan islands and on to Japan before finally scuttling her off the Chinese coast. The people left behind in Recherche Bay were saved from starvation, not by their vacillating officers, but by an enterprising little cockney convict named John Pobjoy, who one year later would do his best to betray Swallow and his companions. Swallow and four of the Cyprus convicts made their way to London where they were recognised and put on trial for piracy at the Old Bailey, and returned to Hobart. The main witness against them was Pobjoy, who had turned up in England after receiving a pardon for his efforts in rescuing the castaways.

Duncan Ivison presents a compelling account of the challenges to liberal political theory by claims to cultural and political autonomy and land rights made by indigenous peoples today. Written in Australia, this book has a focus on Australian Aborigines. Public debate between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples has been often mired in mutual recrimination and misunderstanding. This experience is not unique to Australia. Attempts to present a larger picture within which to consider these questions, beyond the technicalities of legal doctrine and the bureaucratic imperatives of public policy. What is distinctive about this book is the middle way it charts between separatism, on the one hand, and assimilation, on the other. These two options present a false dichotomy as to what might constitute a genuinely postcolonial liberal society. ISBN/ASIN: 0521527511. Our Book No: 30432. $30 AUD.
