Australia In the Making
Found this great book printed in 1936!
Covers everything from Ptolemy, to the Portugese fleets, Dutch fleets, drunken judges and lawyers as convicts! This book seems to pay particular attention to the colonization and formation of each state, explorers that traversed the land (Hume, Flinders etc)
Plenty of maps and slabs of really interesting anecdotes
