Many stories of the First Fleet and NSW colony are prejudicial to the conduct of convicts and especially females. This book relates the history of this period through the eyes of the convicts, and in doing so debunks many untruths about the young men and women who struggled to create a new life in an unknown land. The lives of two convicts, Anthony Rope and Elizabeth Pulley from rural Norfolk, provide a factual human thread stitching together the fascinating story of this great Australian venture. Their individual stories, which start with stealing to stay alive, parallels those of most 752 convicts aboard the motley fleet of eleven ships sent in 1787 to establish a prison settlement on a faraway continent.

Anthony and Elizabeth's early existences were miserable and tragic, involving numerous criminal charges, persecution by guards, one of the "Fighting Five" aboard the Friendship; a liaison at the "riotous" disembarkation, a hanging charge for their wedding supper, and opposition to the Rum Rebellion in support of William Bligh. This is an epic account of adversity, hardship and courage. Anthony and Elizabeth's life together spanned 50 years - the entire period of convict transportation to Australia encompassing nine different Governors.

1788-1843 was the turbulent period in which the NSW settlers struggled with many political and social problems, and when convict emancipists fought a class-ridden elite to create a free egalitarian society. Far from being the scourge on society, emancipists were pioneering settlers who provided the economic resolve and backbone to a starving Australian colony when it was teetering on abandonment.

Satisfied
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great value. Lotion is non greasy - fast absorbing and will last thru handwashing, leaves skin revitalized and soft. The smell is not as pleasant as I would like and the bottle's size makes pumping difficult. But all in all it was a good buy and worth the cons.

High Quality Cocoa Butter Lotion
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This feels amazing on the skin, and works for every skin type. The application is very simple, and it lasts a long time ! The fragrance is sooo nice, and is almost exactly the same as the Vaseline version (as advertised on the bottle!).

Nourishing Body Lotion
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was pleasantly surprised with this body lotion. Very nourishing, light clean scent, and affordable. Great for dry, thirsty, menopausal skin. Thicker and creamier than expected. Highly recommend!
