| Abstract: | In 1788 Humphrey Repton made his important decision to carry on in the Brown tradition, and the well established Eighteenth Century English Landscape School continued in Europe for another thirty years. (Stroud: 1962) Also, in that same year, the British Government founded its first penal colony in New Holland, and as those unfortunate convicts and soldiers began clearing the virgin bush from the shores of Sydney Cove, so began the landscape destruction which has haunted Australia to the present time. |
