Title: David Collins
Description: "Collins was one of the founders of Sydney in 1788, began the first European settlement in Victoria in 1803, and founded Hobart Town the following year." "The journal he began on the First Fleet grew into the first substantial history of New South Wales, and his private letters - extensively quoted for the first time in John Currey's fine biography - give a rare insight into the early colonial world."--BOOK JACKET.
