About the Book Books on the History of Australia deal with its indigenous people, the European explorers (first the Dutch then the British who established a colony in 1788) and the creation of a federated Australian state in 1901. New Zealand was settled by Polynesian ancestors of the Maori people centuries before the appearance of the Dutch, and the British missionaries who fought a series of wars against the Maori between 1845 and 1872. Titles in this category include: Discovery and Settlement of Port Phillip, Hawaiki: The Original Home of the Maori; With a Sketch of Polynesian History, Robert O'Hara Burke and the Australian Exploring Expedition of 1860, The Lost Tasmanian Race, The Story of Australian Exploration, and Western Australia: Its History and Progress.
