The Birth of Sydney is a spectacular and brilliant anthology of writing about the creation of Australia’s oldest city. With Tim Flannery as our guide, we hear the voices of Arthur Phillip, Surgeon John White, Charles Darwin, Anthony Trollope, Nat Gould, Mark Twain and a host of others as they tell their story of a metropolis, built on one of the world’s most spectacular harbours, which began life as a dump for convicts.
