Description

There are two sides to every story, perhaps three. Arabanoo lives with his family on the shores of Sydney Harbour when one day, eleven large canoes mysteriously emerge like ghost ships through misty rain. Among those onboard the travelling vessels, are Captain Watkin Tench and Captain John Hunter – both men recent veterans of America's Revolutionary War. With a world of difference between Arabanoo, the soldier Tench, and the sailor Hunter, common ground may be something of a challenge to be found between them. A factually based historical novel that weaves its way through one fascinating incident after another in the early days of the Sydney colony. Focussing on the relationship between the British and the First Nations people, it plants the seeds that gradually grow to its gripping and dramatic climax.
