In this episode, we overview Frontier Warfare in Van Dieman's Land during 1826-1831, and discuss the most prominent event of it all, the Black Line. 

In this episode, we explore the colonisation of the Swan River Colony (Western Australia) under Captain James Stirling. In addition, we follow the conflict between Governor Darling and the "Freer" Press to its conclusion, examine Australia's first, and possibly largest, bank robbery, and discuss the expansion of the Legislative Council.

In this episode, we overview the struggle between Governor Darling and the Newspapers of the colony, as well as discuss the the separation of Van Diemen's Land from NSW. We also take a quick second to discuss an Australian ghost story.

In this episode we overview the last years of Governor Brisbane's time in charge, and take an eye to the frontier war against the Wiradjuri in the Bathurst region. We also take some time to discuss the bushranging mixed with frontier war in Tasmania, as well as the spread of colony across the country in the mid-1820s.

In this episode of the A History of Australia podcast, we focus in on Governor Brisbane's first years as Governor. And more specifically, we analyse the introduction of colonial Australia's first democratic institution in the 1823 Legislative Council, but is it really anything more than just a token gesture in an autocracy?

In this episode, we overview the final years of Governor Macquarie, and examine how the Exclusives played a part in his resignation. We also take the time to overview the Bigge Report, which will have major ramifications down the road, and to briefly retrospect on Macquarie's time as Governor. 

In this episode, we explore the 1814-1816 Hawkesbury-Nepean War. Part of the ongoing frontier wars in Australia's colonial history, this war sees one of the biggest military actions up until this point, as well as the most controversial parts of Macquarie's time as governor.

In the first minisode of the podcast, we explore the colonists who lived beyond the colonial frontier by 1814, including Sealers on Kangaroo Island, and two supposed 'Wild White Men'.

This week, we overview the establishment of Australia's first currency, the first crossing of the Blue Mountains, and Thomas Davey's time as Van Dieman's Land's Lieutenant Governor. Will he be able to prosper, or will bushrangers and insults from Governor Macquarie bring him down?

In this episode, we finally step out of the shadow of Macarthur's Coup, and enter the period of Macquarie's Governorship. Will he deal with similar issues as his predecessors? Or will he prosper without Macarthur in the colony?
