Published in 1979 by the University of Western Australia Press, the book charts the shift from coastal exploration to the foundation of the Swan River Colony. The early history of the Swan River progressed through three distinct phases: initial European exploration, the diplomatic maneuvering for British annexation, and the harsh realities of early free settlement. Key Historical Details Early Discovery: Dutch explorers, including Willem de Vlaming, explored the area in 1697, and French explorers visited in 1801.Stirling's Expedition: Captain James Stirling explored the Swan River in 1827, producing enthusiastic reports on the region's fertility that persuaded Britain to establish a colony. Establishment: On 2 May 1829, Captain Charles Fremantle raised the British flag, claiming the west coast for Britain, with official settlement following on 18 June 1829. Settlement Growth: Despite early hardships and food shortages, the colony—later named Perth—was established as the capital, with Fremantle as the commercial port. About the Book Authors: Reginald T. Appleyard and Toby Manford. Publisher: University of Western Australia Press (1979/1981).Focus: It analyzes the motivation behind the settlement, including political maneuvers and the challenges faced by the first settlers. The book is recognized as a key text on the early history of Western Australia, sometimes linked to the state's sesquicentenary celebrations.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Each year nearly 30,000 Britons emigrate to Australia under the Assisted Passages Scheme. In return for near-free transport they are required only to stay a minimum of two years in Australia. Are these persons the ne'er-do-wells of British society, the unskilled misfits who have not been able to succeed in Britain? Do they base their decisions to emigrate on reliable information and study economic opportunities in other overseas countries before choosing Australia? To what extent do relatives and friends in Australia and the fact that it is a British country influence their decisions? Why do they leave their homeland - inequality of opportunity; a hostile class structure; the climate? What do they know about the country many of them will never leave and what do they hope to achieve by going there? In 1959 Dr Appleyard and a team of interviewers set out to find the answers to these questions. They conducted long interviews with nine hundred British families (and single persons) just before they sailed for Australia. This book contains the results of the interviews set in the background of post-war emigration to Australia, demographic and economic conditions in each country, government policies which have been formulated to meet these conditions, and actual differences in wage, social services, and the ownership of houses and consumer durables between the United Kingdom and Australia.…
