An officer sails with the First Fleet to plant a convict colony on the far side of the world. Watkin Tench records the long voyage, the landfall at Botany Bay, and the first raw months of European Australia with a clear, humane eye. A firsthand account of a continent's founding. Witness the birth of Sydney through a young marine's journal.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
