Secret River In 1806 William Thornhill, a man of quick temper and deep feelings, is transported from the slums of London to New South Wales for the term of his natural life. With his wife Sal  and their children he arrives in a harsh land he cannot understand. But the colony can turn a convict into a free man. Eight years later Thornhill sails up the Hawkesbury to claim a hundred acres for himself. Aboriginal people already live on that river. And other recent arrivals - Thomas Blackwood, Smasher Sullivan and Mrs Herring - are finding their own ways to respond to them. Thornhill, a man neither better nor worse than most, soon has to make the most difficult choice of his life.		Price:	QTY:

	The Ballad of Desmond Kale In the early 1800's, out of the prison society of governors, redcoats, gaolers, convicts and the few free settlers of Botany Bay, none ventured much farther inland than a few dozen miles from Sydney. Those who tried came back saying it could not be done, or did not come back at all. This is a stirring novel of the first days of British settlement in Australia. Great gift for history buffs!
