I really enjoyed it. If anybody missed it, get it on iView.

i absolutely loved it. was great to get an idea of what things where like at the beginning of colonisation up there in pitttwater/hawkesburry.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I am not much of a TV person so wasn't aware of this program.
Apart from the fact that I love the Broken Bay/Hawksbury area I am also very interested in early Australia.
It is great to see a program that portrays the early days as well as the interaction between European and indigenous Australians.
I watched the first two episodes today in Iview and cant wait for next week.

White man came took everything.

It was a TV show, authors interpretation of events.
If you Google it you will see that it is from a fictional book.

Worse things happened to the aborigines actually. And australia was settled by convicts who did in fact become wealthy through many unsavoury means.

If anybody is interested in some of the early history of Brisbane get a book named "The Mayne Inheritance".

It is a fascinating story and beats any fiction you like to read. You can buy it at the art gallery in the basement of the old Customs House.

The Settler series of books by William Stuart Long (actual name Vivian Stuart) are a series of historical novels tracing the colonisation of he Sydney area from before the first Fleet to mid 1800s. It is an excellent and accurate portrayal of early Sydney.

If you do iview you should watch the "extras" to it.

Interviews with actors, directors and producers through whom you will see the importance of this series being made.
