Introduction to the new edition: The significance of They Came to Murramarang

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

    Abstract

    They Came to Murramarang was first published in 1994, providing the New  South  Wales South Coast villages of Bawley Point, Kioloa and the surrounding  area with an authoritative history from colonial settlement through to the contemporary era. In considering another reprint, two decades after its initial release, the author was aware the region has experienced considerable development since the early 1990s and it is appropriate to consider these changes. Bruce was also aware of research conducted into particular historical episodes associated with the region since the original publication, which augments his account. Furthermore, he felt that the original text provided only a brief glimpse into the rich story of the Indigenous custodians of the country, even though the book presented a fascinating account of early colonial frontier conflict. In incorporating these changes and discoveries, Bruce sought assistance from Dr Alastair Greig and Dr Sue Feary.
