River Dreams reveals the complex history of the Cooks River in south-eastern Sydney—a river renowned as Australia’s most altered and polluted. While nineteenth century developers called it "improvement," the sugar mill, tanneries, and factories that lined the banks of Sydney's Cooks River had drastic consequences for the health of the river.
