Beschreibung
Where is the missing fortune that James Dingle and his convict crew stole in a huge bank heist in 1828 that equates to about 20 million dollars by today's standards? How did a small group of convicts manage to steal a leaky ship and sail halfway across the world? How did Joseph Samuels become the man they couldn't hang? From astonishing escapes to tragic shipwrecks, piratical seizures to a rebellious riot, this book is a fascinating and eclectic collection of the best true stories told on the first three seasons of the Convict Australia podcast.

Well-researched, immersive storytelling makes you feel like you've stepped back in time to when travelling to Australia entailed months on a ship, dinner was a shrivelled-up piece of 3 year old salted beef and punishments came in the form of the cat-o-nine tails.
