description: 1822 - 1838 was a period of struggle and change, from a plantation society using convict labour and governed by army and navy officers to a society with increasing numbers of free settlers, businessmen turned landowners and a small business and professional class in the towns. Manning Clark deals with the effect on the Aborigines of the coming of Europeans, in which G. A. Robinson played a part in Van Diemen's Land, and continues the record of inland exploration by describing journeys of Hume and Hovell and of Captain Charles Sturt.
