The text is accompanied by an introductory essay by Dr Nigel Erskine of the Australian National Maritime Museum which provides an insight into the fractured relationship between Georg Forster and the British establishment.

The year 1850 was carefully chosen, as it represented the conclusion of a distinct perionof exploration and European colonial expansion. By 1850, with the exception of Central Afica, the map of the world bore for the first time a strong resemblance to its current form. The indexes here provide the names of over 3000 travellers and 1000 ships, while the bibliographies cite more than 10,000 works of reference.

It is restrictied to the exploration and travel beyond the temperate continental mainlands - to the oceans, islands and polar regions. The period covered saw the first use of photography, cinematography and sound recording in remote regions, as well as growth in the number of independant women travellers.

Broadbent describes the evolution of Colonial houses and their builders during the colonys foundation in the late eighteenth century, through the golden years of the 1830s, to the depression of the 1840s. These early houses are read as manuscripts, revealing the motives and the follies of their builders. Through the villas, cottages, bungalows and mansions examined in the book, a unique insight is given into early colonial society, its aspirations, its culture or philistinism, its gentility and snobbery, its extravagance and failures.
