Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sydney's early history abounds with tales of men and women behaving badly. Robert Forrester, who arrived in Sydney Harbour aboard the First Fleet vessel 'Scarborough' on 26 January 1788, at first glance was just another ne'er-do-well. He was caught up in a 'scam' in London. He was charged with drunkenness and insolence in Sydney. He was the first man in Australia who appeared before a court enquiry into the murder of an Aborigine. His legal wife, and then his second 'common law' wife, disappeared from the records. Yet determined detective work, recreating his adult life, has revealed that Robert Forrester might even have been 'a decent bloke'.

Book excerpt: When Robert Forrester moved to London in the early 1780s, he was a 'nobody' in terms of documented history. A judgment at the Old Bailey in 1783 turned him into a 'somebody'.Along with hundreds of other men and women whose homeland did not want them and forcibly expelled them, in 1787 he was loaded aboard one of the First Fleet ships bound for the far side of the world. They anchored in Sydney Cove on 26 January 1788. An astonishing new chapter opened in the long story of an ancient continent.In 1791 a small group of selected convicts allowed to become the first 'new Australians' included Robert Forrester. He'd escaped his death sentence but his land grant in the Hawkesbury's 'valley of floods' quickly sentenced him to debt. Interactions with the 'First Australians', the custodians of his land for 60,000 years, earned him and his partner Isabella Ramsay a permanent place in Australian history. Be transported, not like Robert on a convict ship, but by this engrossing true story of a resilient if inadvertent founder of modern Australia.

Book excerpt: "Transported in 1790 with the hellish Second Fleet, the worst of all the convict shipments to Australia, Paul Bushell triumphed and created his own piece of paradise on earth. Vigorous, independent, generous-spirited, community-minded, principled and hard-working, he championed the rights of others and prospered himself. His ecumenical views and his respect for women's rights were ahead of his time. He died in 1853 during the gold rush era, his life story encapsulating the first major phase of the modern history of Australia."--Back cover.
