While Australia's early Hawkesbury settlement (the Mulgrave Place district) is recognized as having special importance for its part in ensuring the survival of the colony, historians for the last 200 years have continued to denigrate the first settlers there. Lazy, lawless, drunken, and in debt is the image that has defined the ex-convict settlers. In this book, the cultural bias of the contemporary chroniclers is re-examined. Hawkesbury Settlement Revealed contains exciting new material about Australia's beginnings, and in particular, about the third mainland settlement which grew at the River Hawkesbury. The book tackles controversial themes, including the meeting of Indigenous and European cultures. It even delves into the local results of the influence of the French Revolution. A specific focus on the varying roles in womens lives is highlighted, which extended far beyond domesticity. Between 1797 and 1802, at least eleven women at Hawkesbury were granted their own title to land.
