About this series
The true tale of the fame of a nation's founding.
Australia's city of Brisbane was founded as a convict prison for second offenders. When the hateful Captain Logan was given free rein to exercise his torturous disposition, both convicts and Aborigines found the object of their resistance heartless. While Britain insisted on appointing gutless governors, what could sympathetic white men do to ease the pains? The black man, however, found his own way of taking personal revenge.

- Gurrewa: Soul of Australia, #1
1
A true tale of the shame of a nation's founding when mostly inept personnel were chosen to accompany petty-crime-convicts to an unknown destination, to found a settlement. This story of Australia's white settlement empties the vacuum-cleaners with which modern Australians are at last cleaning under the carpet where, for generations, the dust of truth was swept. From his first days at Sydney Cove, Adam lives the shame of a nation's founding. The Aborigine too, faced with the dreaded realisation that his heritage is crumbling, finds his securities shattered.
- Son of Gurrewa: Soul of Australia, #2
2
Children of Australia's founding convicts grow up in a unique environment. On the one hand, convicts labour in chains under lash-wielding redcoats while on the other, immigrant farmers strive to carve out a living, reluctant convicts their only available labour. Adam seeks his father knowing only that he 'went bush' to live with Aborigines. Kept from him was that his father, a convict bolter, was killed by redcoats in a frontier skirmish. The sorry hand of fate most-times visits only hardship on a developing community yet occasionally some pawns in the game of life find Lady Luc lends a hand. The odds, for Adam, fall a little each way.
