Description
During the nineteenth century more than a million people, many of whom had never ventured beyond their homes in Britain, sailed to the new colonies of Australia. On their months-long voyage the emigrants lived in a state of limbo – isolated, belonging neither to the old world nor to the new, and living in fear of icebergs, fever and storms.
Drawing upon a wealth of diaries and contemporary records, Don Charlwood evokes their experiences: the physical dangers, stress, boredom and personalities of travellers on their way to a new life.
