Description

Intrigue, espionage, fascination. Convict Sydney from a non-British perspective

History is written by the victors. Hidden behind the triumphal rhetoric about the British 'discovery'and settle ment of Australia is a much more intriguing story of European rivalries, brinkmanship, chest thumping, espionage, opportunism and commercial imperative.

Curious Eyes brings another perspective to the simplistic convict origin story of Australia. It focuses on three non-British visitors to the fledgling colony of Port Jackson in the first decade or so of its establishment, and asks questions not just about Australia's origins, but about historical authenticity itself.

This is a book for the historian, the scientist, the anthropologist, the artist, the conspiracy theorist, and any Australian who seeks fresh insights into Australia's colonial history.
