The Hentys - An Australian Colonial Tapestry
By Marnie Bassett
Published by Melbourne University Press 1962

" The Hentys: An Australian Colonial Tapestry by Marnie Bassett is a historical account of the Henty family, who were among the first European settlers in Victoria, Australia. The book traces their journey from England to Tasmania and eventually to Portland, Victoria, where they established the first permanent European settlement in the region.

Bassett provides a detailed narrative of the family's experiences in colonial Australia, including their struggles, successes, and interactions with the Indigenous people. The book explores themes of pioneering life, economic development, and the broader colonial expansion of the 19th century.

Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, The Hentys offers insight into early Australian colonial history and the challenges faced by settlers during a time of rapid change and frontier expansion. "
