Description

Sydney Harbour has shaped life in the region for thousands of years—serving as a means of travel, a natural barrier, a resource, and a place of cultural and spiritual meaning. In this updated edition, award-winning historian Ian Hoskins tells the rich and complex story of one of the world’s most iconic waterways.

From its deep significance to the Gameragal and Gadigal people to modern-day debates over development and conservation, Hoskins explores how the harbour has been used, changed, and admired over time. This compelling and beautifully written book blends history, culture, and environmental insight.
