Heroes, Rebels and Radicals of Convict Australia, by Jim Haynes

Cover of Heroes, Rebels and Radicals of Convict Australia, by Jim Haynes.

Describes the background to Britain deciding to settle people into Australia and how it nearly did not happen. A great insight to the early settlers of Botany Bay.

Well written and exceedingly interesting. Each of the 14 chapters covers real life characters from convicts to Governor’s wives.

4.5/5 Stars
