Summary |
"Australia is home to an ancient, 60,000-year-old Indigenous culture and a young European influence of just over 200 years. Both have proven to be resourceful and resilient, eking out an existence on one of the toughest continents on Earth. On top of that, Australia is the only country founded solely to contain convicts. This gives it a fascinating penal history, complete with numerous tales of convicts making daring escapes, ranging the bush as folk heroes, or becoming respected citizens."--From the publisher. |
