Although hungry, somehow they survive and keep out of trouble. Heather finds a job and looks to be settled; things go pear-shaped for them both. Eventually, they marry by declaration, yet even that gets messed up, and they are both arrested soon after they make their vow. In 1838, they got transported to Sydney as convicts. Heather arrives within weeks of Brodie, and they are assigned close to each other. They are now living on the docklands in Sydney, called The Rocks. They now have to forge a new life halfway across the world from their homeland. Adventures abound, and Brodie gets press-ganged. While hes away, Heathers life changes and soon, shes officially selling Scotch Whisky at a shop in The Rocks. You can take a Scot out of Scotland, but where did the Scotch come from?
