Book Description

This curious young captain of the marines was an effortless storyteller. His account of the infant colony, introduced by Tim Flannery, is the first classic of Australian literature. On leaving England, Tench was commissioned by the publisher John Debrett of Piccadilly to write a book about his adventures. In fact he wrote two. A Narrative of the Expedition to Botany Bay was published in 1789, and A Complete Account of the Settlement at Port Jackson in 1793. They are both included in full in this edition of 1788.

Robert Forrester, First Fleeter
Author: Louise Wilson
Publisher: L. Wilson
ISBN: 9780980447828
Category : Australia
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
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'.
