A Bunch of Convicts and a Couple of Aboriginals.The family history of Neville and Judith Turbit uncovers the secrets about our direct ancestors. It goes back to the first arrivals on the shores of Australia.Researching the book uncovered 18 who were convicts. They included such obscure people as a Prussian soldier in the British army who deserted in the Napoleonic wars. A previously forgotten, or perhaps hidden, Aboriginal line leading back to King Bungaree. Another ancestor was a sailor who laims to have been a cabin boy on the Endeavour with Cook. Interwoven through the pages are documents that show what it was like to live in early Australia after the British arrived. What did people think at the time and how did they act towards the indigenous people?
