"'Visions of Australia - Impressions of the Landscape' records the opinions of one hundred of those who saw the land in its unchanged state, and the cities as they developed. They transfer the modern notions of a harsh landscape into a garden of wildflowers. They transform the wood-and-canvas huts fronting streets of mud and dust into buildings of extraordinary elegance. They transform the European people from drunken and licentious convicts and opportunists into members of an intelligent, vigorous, adaptable and proud society. They transform Aboriginal Australians into highly intelligent people with great artistic ability. 'Visions of Australia' presents a challenging and exciting vista of early Australia."
