520    March 1797. Ninety Mile Beach, Victoria. Five British 
       sailors and twelve Bengali seamen swim ashore after their 
       longboat is ripped apart in a storm. The British penal 
       colony at Port Jackson is 700 kilometres to the north, 
       their fellow-survivors from the wreck of the Sydney Cove 
       stranded far to the south on a tiny island in Bass Strait.
       To rescue them and save their own lives, they have no 
       alternative. They set out to walk to Sydney. What follows 
       is one of Australia's greatest survival stories and cross-
       cultural encounters. In From the Edge, award-winning 
       historian Mark McKenna uncovers the places and histories 
       that Australians so often fail to see. Like the largely 
       forgotten story of the sailors' walk in 1797, these 
       remarkable histories-the founding of a 'new Singapore' in 
       West Arnhem Land in the 1840s, the site of Australia's 
       largest industrial development project in the Pilbara and 
       its extraordinary Indigenous rock art, and James Cook's 
       meeting with Aboriginal people at Cooktown in 1770-lie on 
       the edge of the continent and the edge of national 
       consciousness.Retracing their steps, McKenna explores the 
       central drama of Australian history- the encounter between
       Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians-each altered 
       irrevocably by the other-and offers a new understanding of
       the country and its people.
