The Forgotten Generation is a colonial history of Norfolk Island and Van Diemen’s Land that gives a picture of the individuals who made up the Norfolk Island population during the First Settlement with convicts, 1788–1814, and covers aspects of their lives.

An account of Nicolas Baudin's two-year scientific expedition to the coasts of Australia. Baudin commanded two ships — the Géographe and the Naturaliste — on a voyage commissioned by Napoleon to survey the Australian coastline and collect scientific specimens. The expedition spent considerable time in Van Diemen's Land, where Baudin's interactions with the Aboriginal population were documented in detail by the expedition's scientists, and where he encountered Matthew Flinders in Encounter Bay in April 1802 — a meeting that has become one of the most discussed moments in Australian exploration history.

A history of the Furneaux Group — the cluster of islands in eastern Bass Strait of which Flinders Island is the largest — covering the settlement, industries, shipwrecks, families and communities of the islands from early European contact through to the late 20th century.
