Hi everyone

I have just finished reading the book. Highly recommend it as I too have a female convict who came out to Oz 1816 so I wanted to gain some insight as to their way of life, journey etc.
Look forward to the show on the ABC

Thanks

Hi, Does anyone know if that 'airing time' and date is for us in Vic too ? Can't miss it.
Talking of books -did love 'The Secret River'  Kate Grenville.
Again about our convict and early settler heritage. 
Fiction based on fact.  good book!
