Our tour begins in Sydney Cove, the ferry terminal in the city. We’ll start with the Aboriginal groups that lived here and their culture, and then discuss the arrival of the First Fleet. Using this cove as our text, we’ll look at the British project in Australia through the lens of this first contact and settlement. Our tour will lead through a variety of topics, including the division of the city along class lines, the status and contributions of convicts, and displacement of Aboriginal groups. Our walk will take any variety of paths, depending on the interests and the background of the historian leading it. However, a few key sites will be considered, including the Museum of Sydney, which occupies the site (and preserves the remains) of Australia’s first Government House, the convict-built obelisk on Macquarie Street, and salvaged remains of one of the First Fleet ships lost in the South Pacific. We’ll emerge from our time together with a sharper sense for Sydney's history.
