CD record

This two volume set is a comprehensive and beautifullyllustrated record of the history of New South Wales and its prominent inhabitants.

Volume 1 and the first part of volume 2 covers the early explorers, geography, aborigines, flora and fauna, governors of New South Wales as well as the Constitution and more. The fascinating part of this set of books (apart from the hundreds of superb illustrations throughout), is the large biographical section.

The biographies of noted identities cover not only those from Sydney city, but also from the suburbs and regional areas. Each are grouped by town and have at least a paragraph on each person, though some are quite extensive. Details can include parents' names, emigration details, birth place, education, and employment history and other general information.

A unique feature of this CD is that eleven known variant editions have been gathered onto this one fully searchable product.
