Barbara I used work with an Arnp Eglitis in Sydney. I went to a few Baltic Balls with him.

It is a good read, full of incredible true stories. The book is called "Closing Hell's Gates - the death of a convict station" written by Hamish Maxwell-Stewart. Just thought you might be interested to know just what some of "our" convicts went through. It is horrifying.
