A true tale of Australia's first white settlement. Letitia Munro is a true tale of those who in witless ignorance transform the world's biggest prison into a land of free enterprise and pride. Ignominy of servitude was bred into the first white Australians as was irrefragable support for the underdog, determination of purpose towards mateship, their flippant attitude to authority and conventions of class distinction, and a will to cleave a path out of adversity to grasp chance and create opportunity. Their children grow up in the shadows of their parents' pasts, unwitting of the social taboos being woven into the fabric of their spawning culture. When the sins of their fathers become beholden on them as society values change, must they deny their very heritage?

Convicts despatched from Britain's bulging gaols served out their sentences in an ancient land, wresting it from Aborigines, that it be turned over to agriculture and sheep grazing. This episode tells of Letitia Munro's descendants, their experiences, hardships, loves and heartbreaks as they unwittingly forge a new ethos. Mostly illiterate and lacking skills, some failed at farming while others succeeded, unaware of the social taboos being woven into the fabric of the nation's spawning culture. When the sins of fathers become beholden on them as society values change, must they deny their very heritage?
