in early nineteenth century to Van Diemen's Land. The exiled sailed first to Port Jackson, then to
Norfolk Island, and from there to the fledgling colony of Van Diemen's Land. The 'Lady Nelson'
and H.M.S. 'Porpoise' were two of the ships that carried the exiles, many of whom by now were
free settlers, on their enforced journey. The story of the exiles has been extensively researched
and uncovers many fascinating and hitherto unpublished accounts of hardship and survival.
