Transported: A Pioneer's Story

by Terry Springs

Step back in time to the early 1800's and the story of a real life convict, George Smith, convicted of stealing a watch in London. Rich in day-to-day detail, a mixture of fact and fiction, Transported tells of his death sentence, reprieve and his years in the unexplored NSW colony, on the other side of the world. This remarkable man raised himself from poverty to become the wealthiest man in Dubbo, the first white man to survive in the unexplored countryside and make contact with local Aborigines. Enter a world where Sydney Cove is beginning to expand and the territory is opening up.
