Children's Non-Fiction

On the east coast of Australia, inside a deep harbour, is a small cove. Follow the history of how it was made… the Aboriginal people who called it home … the British people who built a colony there … and how Australia’s largest city grew around it.

Sydney Cove: Through Time is a fascinating exploration of the "history of place" and how it changes through time.

About the series:
Written for the new Australian History Curriculum, the Past and Present series asks students: What aspects of the past can you see today? How has your community changed? How did Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people first encounter early traders, explorers and settlers?
