TL;DRAbstract

It is manifestly obvious that the beginnings of Australian colonial history lie in Britain in the 18th century. The decision, however taken, to form a convict or convict–imperial colony in the late 18th century began that record. The turbulent events between 1788 and 1815 in Europe, and throughout the world, overwhelmed any likelihood that this distant project should receive coherent attention and, indeed, such was the case.
