Description of  Heroes, Rebels and Radicals of Convict Australia [Audiobook]

B0CP9TTNW2 M4B & MP3 @126 kbps 720 to 727 MB | Unabridged | Retail In Heroes, Rebels and Radicals of Convict Australia, our master storyteller Jim Haynes has collected a fascinating cast of characters who embody the resourcefulness, bravery, defiance, successes and tragedies of the convict era, men and women who forged the nation we would one day become. Why did transportation occur, why did it end and what was it like living in Australia from 1788 to 1870? Skilfully researched and told in Jim's warm and witty style, Heroes, Rebels and Radicals of Convict Australia answers these questions and brings to life well-known and unknown figures from Australia's history as a penal settlement. This is the true story of the colonisation of Australia. 'Aussies love a good story, and entertainer Jim Haynes has been telling them for decades.' (The Courier Mail) 'In a year when we could all use a different perspective, Jim Haynes came to the rescue with his latest sojourn into history ... a cast of colourful characters.' (Spectator Australia)
