{"product_id":"the-colony","title":"The Colony","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Colony is the story of the marvellously contrary, endlessly energetic early years of Sydney. It is an intimate account of the transformation of a campsite in a beautiful cove to the town that later became Australia's largest and best-known city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the sparkling beaches to the foothills of the Blue Mountains, Grace Karskens skilfully reveals how landscape shaped the lives of the original Aboriginal inhabitants and newcomers alike. She traces the ways in which relationships between the colonial authorities and ordinary men and women broke with old patterns, and the ways that settler and Aboriginal histories became entwined. She uncovers the ties between the burgeoning township and its rural hinterland expanding along the river systems of the Cumberland Plain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003eAuthor:  Grace Karskens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003eISBN: 9781742373645\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003eType: Paperback \/ 969 pages\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Allen \u0026amp; Unwin\u003cbr\u003ePublished Date: July 2010\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PENGUIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52047046869266,"sku":"015924","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/9001\/9602\/files\/TheColony.avif?v=1772062027","url":"https:\/\/store.anmm.gov.au\/products\/the-colony","provider":"Sea Museum Retail Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
