The First Fleet: The Real Story | Emeritus Professor Alan Frost (History, La Trobe University) tells the real story of The First Fleet, and the establishing of the Botany Bay settlement in Australia. In 1787 a convoy of eleven ships, carrying about 1500 people, set out from England for Botany Bay. According to the conventional account, it was a shambolic affair: under-prepared, poorly equipped and ill-disciplined. Alan Frost draws on previously forgotten records to debunk these persistent myths. He shows that the voyage was in fact meticulously planned – reflecting its importance to the British government’s secret ambitions for imperial expansion.

Customer Reviews
More please :)
Really enjoyed this collection - only criticism is that the volume seemed a bit low compared to other audio media I've played.
Would love to hear more - I haven't yet found another collection as interesting as this one.
