We have a new book now available through the Society.

Land of Rogues & Scoundrels Starting from scratch in Van Diemen's Land

​Alison Alexander $80.00

This landmark new book is the culmination of Alison Alexander’s pioneering research into how immigrants started out in Australia, and how they developed the land and society.

The people featured here are all ‘the biggest rogues and scoundrels in the world’, wrote William Williamson in Hobart in 1820 – though, having robbed his sister of every penny she possessed, he was just as much a rogue as any.

Alison Alexander shows how a heterogeneous jumble of British convicts, guards and free settlers like Williamson established a functioning society where people could live in reasonable security and comfort.
