Many stories of the First Fleet and NSW colony are prejudicial to the conduct of convicts and especially females. This book relates the history of this period through the eyes of the convicts, and in doing so debunks many untruths about the young men and women who struggled to create a new life in an unknown land. The lives of two convicts, Anthony Rope and Elizabeth Pulley from rural Norfolk, provide a factual human thread stitching together the fascinating story of this great Australian venture. Their individual stories, which start with stealing to stay alive, parallels those of most 752 convicts aboard the motley fleet of eleven ships sent in 1787 to establish a prison settlement on a faraway continent.

Anthony and Elizabeth's early existences were miserable and tragic, involving numerous criminal charges, persecution by guards, one of the "Fighting Five" aboard the Friendship; a liaison at the "riotous" disembarkation, a hanging charge for their wedding supper, and opposition to the Rum Rebellion in support of William Bligh. This is an epic account of adversity, hardship and courage. Anthony and Elizabeth's life together spanned 50 years - the entire period of convict transportation to Australia encompassing nine different Governors.

1788-1843 was the turbulent period in which the NSW settlers struggled with many political and social problems, and when convict emancipists fought a class-ridden elite to create a free egalitarian society. Far from being the scourge on society, emancipists were pioneering settlers who provided the economic resolve and backbone to a starving Australian colony when it was teetering on abandonment.

Great product! Highly recommend! Worth the money
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Our family absolutely loves Alba sunscreen! It’s light, not super greasy, and smells really good. Everytime I see it on sale, I buy more of it! My husband is a red head, and he has to wear sunscreen all the time, and he prefers Alba brand over any others. Great Product!

Like the sunscree - not the spray can
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Sunscreen itself did a great job with our snorkeling and scuba diving. Long lasting and didn't rub off in spots where masks and other things can leave spots unprotected. However, the spray can itself was difficult. Even when being sure it was completely in the unlocked position, it would take me two thumbs at full pressure to get it started spraying at times. Definitely, only a couple of us in the party were the appliers as we could get it started.

Love it! Eco-friendly and Easy-to-Use Spray

I really like the Alba Botanicals Coconut Clear Spray! Not only does it give me a refreshing coconutty vibe, but it’s also biodegradable and cruelty-free, which is important to me. 🐰♻️ The spray-on application is a breeze, and I love how it doesn’t leave that annoying greasy feeling on my skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished. Perfect for those sunny beach days or any time I need a quick spritz of hydration. I highly recommend this coconut clear spray to everyone who values eco-friendly choices and easy-to-use skincare products.

Great product, bad packaging
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I love this sunscreen! I use it on myself and my child and it works very well. However, the spray nozzle on one of the cans is locked and it will not work. I have tried to turn the lock, lift it up, etc., to no avail. This item is also not returnable. $20 for 1 can of sunscreen is quite expensive.

Great product
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Product is great with good coverage and ease of use. Much better than comparable products because it is very light feeling and doesn't leave a heavy or sticky residue on your skin. Perfect protection for anyone who burns easily or fair skinned. However I paid for the extra rushed 3 day shipping and it was delayed and I wasn't reimbursed the extra shipping charges even though it arrived 6 days later.
