'Two Years At Sea' recounts Jane Roberts’ voyage to the Swan River and Van Dieman’s Land (now Tasmania) during the years 1829-1831. This firsthand account offers a unique glimpse into the challenges and experiences of early settlers in Australia. The narrative details the journey itself, the conditions faced upon arrival, and the interactions with the environment and inhabitants. Roberts’ observations provide valuable insights into the daily life, social structures, and economic activities of these fledgling colonies. This historical document provides a fascinating look at Australian colonial history through the eyes of a contemporary traveler.
