The third volume in Manning Clark’s distinguished history of Australia takes the story to the moment of the discovery of gold and the separation of Victoria from New South Wales. A story of destruction as well as construction: The destruction of the aborigines and the construction of an essentially English bourgeois society and the taming of an alien and seemingly sterile land along the coastal country.
