As European explorers mapped the continent's shores, they clashed with Indigenous peoples whose lands were being claimed without consent. Governor Phillip faced starvation in Sydney Cove as settlers fought to establish a viable colony. Meanwhile, in New Zealand, Māori leaders like Te Whero Whero resisted the encroachment of settlers who ignored land treaties. The voyages of Dampier, Flinders, and Bass revealed both the beauty and harshness of these lands, while convicts and free settlers alike grappled with survival in a distant, unfamiliar world.
