Early settlers

Hi,
Just heard on the local news that a fleet of "tall" ships are setting sail shortly from the UK to recreate the first crossings that took migrant settlers over to Oz.
I wonder how they felt hundreds of years ago? wondering whether their Tv/video and dvd players would work.:D

not long now surely.

Read a book called 'English Passengers'. It's set in that era & is probably the best book I have ever read about Australia.

One of my favourite books. I keep offering to lend it to people, but never get around to it just in case they don't return it :D
