It was an incredible idea, to found a colony of convicts, eight months' sail away from Great Britain. It was a land with no cities, no farms, no rich spices. It was 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, warts and all.
