Více o knize
Set on Melville Island, this historical account explores the brief yet tumultuous existence of Fort Dundas, Australia's first northern European outpost established in 1824. The narrative delves into the lives of soldiers, marines, and convicts who faced extreme hardships, including survival struggles, greed, piracy, and violent confrontations with the Tiwi people. Rich with tales of scurvy, births, weddings, and tragic events, the story captures the complexities of colonial life before the fort's abandonment in 1829, ultimately succumbing to nature.
