The great Maori feast at Remuera

Description: "In 2010 Auckland Museum hosted an exhibition called Kai to Pie - Auckland on a Plate. This included an interactive display of a lithograph of the Maori feast at Remuera in 1844 - click on the numbers in the key and information was displayed on the enlarged part of the image. The media described it as: The feast section explores fascinating stories of the city's most extraordinary gatherings, including the 1844 Remuera feast - a four-day extravaganza for 4,000 guests that boasted a menu of 9,000 sharks and 11,000 baskets of potatoes. The feast is universal and timeless. It goes across cultures and across history," says the exhibition developer Flightless. According to written sources the feast was held between Remuera and St Johns by Te Wherowhero of the Waikato and his people to reciprocate past feasts and assert mana. The exhibition and the interactive display both won design awards in 2010."--P.3.

Description: Published in London the year following the successful arrival of the First Fleet in New Holland, Stockdale's work is the most detailed early account of the arduous voyage and is considered the foundation book of Australian settlement. Compiled, with an editor's literary flourish, from Phillip's official reports, as well as the journals of other officers in the First Fleet, this account describes the voyage from England and the first months at Port Jackson, a period extending from March 1787 to September 1788. It captures the administrative and functional challenges facing the fledgling colony, which were rendered all the more difficult by its remoteness and its spectacularly alien natural environment. The work describes the initial exploration of the Sydney region, its indigenous inhabitants, natural history and landscape. It includes the plan of Sydney Cove made by Dawes and Hunter, which is the earliest plan of the settlement of Sydney. It also includes the first published account of La Perouse's expedition - it was due to Phillip that the documentation of the latter half of the expedition was saved.

The main political and religious movements, politicians and defining political moments in Fiji are used to frame this history of a complex modern Pacific island nation with a complex Colonial past."--publisher information.
