"Over the last decades of the eighteenth century, hopes and ambitions turned to conceptions
of the great southern land, and the British nurtured fond plans for the Antipodean
colonies of Australia and New Zealand conceived as children of the British Empire,
one day to assume a glorious inheritance. Many emotional ties first experienced within
the British family were applied to, enlarged, and challenged by the relationships
and scope of empire: ideas about inheritance and childhood, for example, shaped utopian
views of the colonies, while racial exclusion could be couched in terms of class.
From colonization in 1788, the reality of invasion and violence against Indigenous
people challenged this imaginary future, prompting mourning and erasure"
