Description: It was an incredible idea, to found a colony of convicts eight months' sail away from Great Britain. In a land with no cities, no farms, no rich spices. Just slaves in huts. No country had ever though to send a colony so far away. Why on earth would you bother? Covers the full spectrum of Australian history. www.shearersbookshop.com.au Site accessed 16/10/2007.
