No nation had ever been established in such a manner: seafarers, convicts and a few good citizens - some 1300 in all - consigned to a virtually unknown land on the opposite side of the world to establish a penal colony. It was a place so foreign, so alien, that they may as well have been going to another planet. A considerable level of emphasis is placed on the amazing and little-known stories of the 15,000 nautical mile voyage from England to Botany Bay, then Sydney Cove. These chapters link the before and after elements of the saga: who were the main players (good and bad), why were they there, and what happened when they arrived in New South Wales?
