Summary "The Indigenous people of Australia have lived here for tens of thousands of years. They survived the ice age and ancient global warming. They saw oceans sink and oceans rise. They watched the mega-beasts disappear and dingoes arrive. Theirs is the oldest civilisiation in the world. Then along came the Dutch. And the Portuguese. And the British. Things would never be the same again. Come with Jackie French and Peter Sheehan on a voyage back through time. It's history as you've never seen it." -- BOOK JACKET
Jackie French touches on just about everything human that happened on the Australian continent prior to British settlement
