Sydney Cove Journal by George Worgan, ISBN 9780949586308

> Australia Books > History Books Author: George Worgan George Worgan was at the centre of events when the first Fleet landed its cargo of convicts and settlers at Sydney Cove in January 1788. Worgan sailed with Governor Arthur Phillip as surgeon of the Sirius and was a careful recorder of the governor's efforts to establish the fledgling colony of New South Wales. Worgan's journal, written on the spot is now acknowledged to be one of the most important eyewitness accounts of the arrival of the fleet.He was present at many of the first meetings between the Aboriginal people and the Europeans, recorded Phillip's address to the convicts on their arrival, and took part in many of the first exploratory journeys into the interior. His descriptions of the inhabitants, the native fauna, flora and landscape are all full of the sense of wonder, surprise and sometimes amusements experienced by the first Europeans.
