David Denholm chronicles the experiences of ordinary men and women — settlers, convicts, labourers, and landowners — illuminating the social structures, cultural attitudes, and daily realities that defined colonial society. Written with an engaging and accessible tone, the narrative draws on a wealth of historical sources to illustrate how colonial Australians understood themselves and their place in a rapidly changing world. Denholm argues that the colonial period was far more complex and nuanced than popular mythology suggests, challenging romanticised notions of the bush and the frontier. This authoritative and thought-provoking study remains an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the foundations of modern Australian identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887839621339,"sku":"2026770000210-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1145cbd1-1a11-438f-966a-67cd75f1d658.png?v=1781747091","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000210-secondhand-the-colonial-australians","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
