Résumé
"Australia was born as a penal colony. At the end of the 18th century the English prisons were full to overflowing, and, after the recent American Revolution, the government needed to find a new place to deport its convicted criminals.… So they chose a remote coast on the other side of the world, whose land Captain Cook had claimed for the British Crown a short time before, and where there was absolutely nothing. At the same time, the Australian Aborigines will suddenly see their survival endangered by the arrival of the white man, witnessing with horror the occupation of their ancestral lands." -- Translation provided by NLS
