Elizabeths, which is the story of convicts who were
deported by the First Fleet, in 1787, the author has bowed
to reader’s requests and written this sequel. A few months
after HMS Friendship’s women convicts were reallocated
to other ships in the fl eet, in order to make way for farm
animals, the New Life evolves.
The reader experiences the trepidation and traumas of being landed
on a virgin shore where the men had to fi rst erect tents to house the
offi cials, marines, civilians, men and women convicts. From the fi rst day
Governor Arthur Phillip has the Union Jack raised on the shore of Port
Jackson, the amazing progress of the country now known as Australia is
described in easily imagined images.view less
