AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It was the wind that put this place on the map. If a ship caught the Roaring Forties east from the Cape of Good Hope, Tasmania would be her first sight of land, and its south-east coastline, elaborately indented and islanded, her first harbour. Abel Tasman was blown here in 1642, unable to anchor. James Cook and Tobias Furneaux, 130 years later, were separated in fog near Antarctica; Furneaux washed up in a sheltered bay he named Adventure, after his ship.' (Introduction)

We are yet to enter that next world, nor can we clearly see its shape from here. For now we are filled with one numbing certainty: the sad sense that the world we left behind as the coronavirus took hold is closed to us now, much as we might hanker for it, much as daily life is still formed around our memory of what it really ought to be.'
