A powerful and gripping story of survival.
Come take a voyage into the early nineteenth century in Australia, where convicts existed in inhumane conditions.
Lady Lucy Island is the worst convict island in the world. This small, desolate, windswept little island inside Macquarie Sound in Tasmania became home to three hundred and twenty convicts, thirty-two guards and a despicable governor.
The governor hated being in this isolated backwash, and took his resentment out on the convicts. The motivation of the convicts was to either kill the governor or escape, but escape normally meant death.
One convict, a man by the name of Smithy, managed to escape, but faced a journey full of hardship. This is his story.
This is their story.
