Gurrewa — Kev Richardson

A true tale of the shame of a nation's founding when mostly inept personnel were chosen to accompany petty-crime-convicts to an un-inspected destination, to found a settlement. Tradesmen in every skill required had been overlooked; street gamin, pickpockets and loose women (near all illiterate) were depended on to make bricks, erect houses and feed a thousand others when warlike Aborigines made access to forest impossible.
