AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Set in 1823 governors Brisbane and Darling fail to reconcile two bitterly opposed factions in the colony - the officials and the free settlers and the emancipated convicts and their progeny. When one of the new settlers, Robert Willoughby, rapes a young convict, this adds fuel to the fire.(Libraries Australia)
