e_phemerart47) Hausman, Gerald & Loretta. ESCAPE FROM BOTANY BAY: The True Story of Mary Bryant. Orchard Books: 2003.
48)Grenville, Kate. THE SECRET RIVER. Canongate: 2005.
Two novels of historical fiction about British convicts deported to Australia in the late 18th/early 19th century. In the first, a young adult read based on a true accounting, Mary Bryant escapes back to England, and in the latter (which was more literary and well written) William Thornhill and family stay and settle in this far country while dealing with the aboriginal presence.
